PODCAST LISTENER COMMENT
What a great Podcast from Paul The Book Guy on Killer Nashville. As a native Nashvillian, I thank you very much.
This was my first conference and first time at Killer Nashville and Authors Phyllis Johnson and Nancy Naigle were the first two people I met there. And I'm so proud to now call them my friends.
Their combined talents on 'Inkblot' is incredible, and a must read. I'm sitting here now looking at my signed copy. Also, already started my copy signed copy of Nancy Naigle's 'Sweet Tea and Secrets', and if you're a fan of the GREAT Fannie Flagg, you do not want this one to pass you by. Keep an eye on these two authors;
I know you'll be seeing and reading a lot more of these two wonderful and talented women.
