Hey y’all!  It’s been a minute.  We took the summer off from podcasting which was simply divine.  Today, we kickoff Season 3 of Just One More Chapter Podcast.  How is that EVEN possible?   We recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary for the podcast!  

I’m super excited to be back podcasting.  This season is going to be oh so good!

The hilarious Amy Poeppel joins us today to discuss her sweet book MUSICAL CHAIRS.  MUSICAL CHAIRS is described as “a love letter to modern family life with all of its discord and harmony. Musical Chairs is an irresistibly romantic story of role reversals, reinvention, and sweet synchronicity.”

Take a listen to this podcast chapter, y’all!

You can also watch her hilarious book trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IffxAo-QMh4 

I love having authors back on the show.  We got the band back together for this podcast chapter...Luanne G Smith and I discuss her latest book The Glamourist which is the second book in the The Vine Witch trilogy! 

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice—catastrophic events known as Drains—leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him.

After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal . . . for everyone but them. After all, what do you do when you’re the most famous people on Earth, your only education was in magical destruction, and your purpose in life is now fulfilled?

Veronica Roth joins me today to discuss her latest book CHOSEN ONES. This interview is pure joy!  Veronica is a really big deal having written the Divergent Series….which went on to become movies.  Chosen Ones has the best plot twist ever. 

We're bringing this FABULOUS podcast chat back from Season 1.  Luanne Smith joins Katie McCormick today to discuss her debut novel THE VINE WITCH. The book is pure magic quite literally.  It’s been described by Forbes as “A grown-up fairy tale with a twisty-turn-y storyline of magic, love and betrayal that holds your attention. A great book to read while savoring a glass of wine”. 

Luanne is coming back on the show in a few weeks to discuss her second book in the THE VINE WITCH trilogy called THE GLAMOURIST. Enjoy, y'all!  

Y’all the Queen of Beach Reads, Mary Kay Andrews joins me today to discuss this Summer’s blockbuster beach read called HELLO SUMMER!  

Who else is ready for beach reads and Summertime? 

We're going way, way back to our very first podcast chapter chat with the one and only Stuart Woods. We chat about his 50th Stone Barrington novel, Contraband.  Stuart gets super personal and answers questions that he has never answered in an interview!  I hope y'all enjoy this archive. 

(You can tell it was our very first one by the production quality....thankfully, we have come a long way on that front!)

"On a cold, rainy morning, finance journalist Ally Linden arrives soaked to the bone at her Manhattan office, only to find that she’s forgotten her keycard. When her boss shows, he’s shocked to see her—because, he explains, she hasn’t worked there in five years."

Not only do you fall in love with Ally...but you are dying to find out what happened while Ally was missing for 48 hours! Dun dun duuuuun! Kate White joins me today to discuss HAVE YOU SEEN ME.  Kate is the New York Times bestselling author of fourteen suspense novels. She was the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine for 14 years. 

My cheeks hurt after this interview from smiling and laughing.  Enjoy, y’all!
