A podcast that feels like making new friends

I started this series about two months ago (July 2023) and couldn’t stop listening. Julie made every interview feel like we were making new friends while learning about the author’s stories, too. I listened to every episode in about a month’s time. I love that i can keep listening since there are a constant stream of new authors to interview. If you love crime and learning about each author’s journey, I’d highly recommend taking a listen as soon as you have the chance.

Like having friends over for coffee!!

I am catching up on back episodes and I just have to say, the episode with Alexia Gordon was awesome!! I felt like I had friends over for coffee as you discussed so many topics. This podcast is wonderful; both entertaining and informative.

So informative

I listen to the SinC podcast every day during my walks. Sometimes I have to stop and write things down on my phone so I don’t forget before I get home. You have wonderful and informative guests.
Thank you for continuing to show struggling writers the path to writing and publishing.

Warmly,
Vonnie Kennedy
