If you love books and are curious about the writing world, you’re in the right place.

  • So much fun!

    I love this podcast! It’s great to catch up with Friends and Fiction episodes while I’m out for a walk or off in the car. These women—whose books I’ve long loved—are so real, down to earth, witty, and insightful. They bring great author guests and ask all the questions! The Writers’ Block segments with Ron are a fascinating addition to hear insiders’ stories from authors and others. Five stars!

    As a reader, I love this this podcast! I love how the Fab Five discuss books, bookstores and their guests Karen Slaughter was a hoot! As an aspiring writer, their tips are invaluable and they help me push on! Maybe one day, when I get published, I may even be a guest! You rock!
