Fantastic!
Cindy’s podcast is a must-listen for me (and a must-visit, as a former guest!) Her insightful questions and thoughtful conversation bring so much to the table, and add a deeper layer of appreciation to the books she covers.

I love this podcast! Cindy brings guests on that I'm dying to hear from. I especially enjoy her chats about historical fiction. She lets authors be themselves and is such a compassionate reader herself, that I appreciate her own insights too. Great podcast for readers!

The Inside Scoop
I love Cindy's podcasts because she delves below the surface and gets to the heart of what each book is about. Her questions are insightful and sometimes challenging, forcing us authors to think about our craft. And I love the fact that she painstakingly edits out the fumbles and stumbles so I sound reasonably articulate. I know there must be a huge amount of work behind each episode but she makes them sound effortless – and always fun to listen to.

Fascinating!
What a fascinating podcast! Get directly into the minds of authors and their craft. It's great for finding new books to read, learning about your favorite authors, and staying current with the literary world. Highly recommend to all of my bookish friends!
