After a way-too-long hiatus from publishing, we’re finally getting back into the swing of things! On this episode of the show, recorded WAAAAAY back in the spring (we won’t bring up Liberty’s scheduling/production issues), we have with us the one and only Avily Jerome. We know Avily from the Realm Maker’s conference, where she sometimes body-doubles President Donald Trump. But she’s also an amazingly talented author who wrote The Heir. As you’ll find out, Avily likes to laugh as much as we do, and her snarky brand of humor was a great fit with your hosts’ funny bones.
