This episode of the Blanket Fort features author, competitive ballroom dancer, and fellow English nerd Drea Roman! We had a blast geeking out about story crafting, where we find our inspirations, and the agony of being slow writers. Join us as we talk about cookie tin sewing kits and reader expectations, the Black Panthers, and the creepy little Christmas ornament she sent me last year!

Make sure to check out the blog for links to all the books we mention and more, too. Soooo many awesome books this week, y'all.
