Jere Anthony's work conjures the early aught work of Helen Fielding and Gemma Townley. It's funny without being over the top, and it's touching without being melodramatic. It's also just a bit naughty. I think she's the perfect author to read to escape the blues or just relax and enjoy a glass of wine (or tea, or soda). I, for one, can't wait for you to learn more about her delightful stories.

This week I'm speaking with Contemporary Women's Fiction author Rosey Lee. We talk a little about her debut (coming spring 2024) and a little about her life as a physician, but mostly we talk about her writing journey and what she thinks is the most valuable advice for authors. I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Next time on About This Writing Thing, I'll be speaking with indie romance author Colleen Young.

From her website:

"Rosie Wylor-Owen is a USA Today Bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance books."

Her most recent release, Valkyrie Broken, completes her 7-book The Rogue Valkyrie Series. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Rosie (virtually, of course, as she currently lives near London) to discuss her newest release, what's it's like to be an indie author, and was even able to get some darn good writing advice from her.

If you're interested in learning more about Rosie and her work, you can visit her website: https://rosiewylor-owen.com/.

If you'd like to connect with Rosie on social media, you can find her on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
