If you’re new to the podcast, welcome! I hope you enjoy listening and that you’ll subscribe if you do. This episode is a little different than the standard format. Normally I talk to a yarn producer and then speak to a fiber expert about a breed of sheep or a spinning technique or the like. But when I talk to an author about their book, we take the whole episode just talking to one person. As a publisher myself, the intricacies of books and book publishing are fascinating. Don’t worry if that’s not your bag, we don’t spend the entire interview just talking about the publishing process.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this interview, or on the podcast in general. I feel like I’ve basically been working in a vacuum just hoping that you all are enjoying this.
