So excited to welcome back my friend Darlene Dziomba to the podcast for the third time! She's the first member of the three-timer club and then she starts a baseball rumor that is so explosive I want to make sure we get credit if it actually happens.
Come for the book talk, stay for the piping hot trade rumors (between the Phillies and Red Sox anyway). We talk about her newest book, the 5th (!) in her Lily Dreyfus series out on February 24.
Find Darlene: www.readdarlene.com
Plus, things I'm obsessed with, Author Trading Cards, and book recommendations!
My book recs:
The Lady Darby Series (And Verity Kent series) by Anna Lee Huber
The Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty
