Spinner of Yarns
I had the pleasure of talking to Chautona Havig on her podcast, Because Fiction, a couple of weeks ago. That podcast is now live! Here’s a link to her blog: https://chautona.com/because-fiction-128/ but you can find her podcast all over the place in podcastland. And definitely subscribe to it. I discovered Because Fiction at the beginning of this year and have loved each episode. She is a bubbly and enthusiastic interviewer who knows how to draw out the author … even me!
