Lightning Round w/ Lisa And Liz

Hello fellow readers and welcome to my newest segment, Lightning Round! I’ve realized with the growing community of book reviews and related content posts that it’s difficult to fit in reading all of the things we want to. After brainstorming in an effort to connect readers with authors in a more personal way, I came up with the idea for these “bullet interviews”-think more of a get to know the person who’s writing the book rather than us trying to sell you a piece of merchandise. It’s a fun, fast segment, similar to the templates you currently see in Instagram stories. Today’s guests are Lisa Steinke and Liz Fenton, co-authors of five novels, the latest releasing this July titled Girls’ Night Out! (In case you missed my review you can find it HERE!) Please join me in giving Lisa and Liz a warm welcome and come chuckle along with me at their fabulous answers to my ridiculous questions. 😉
