Hello Rebels and welcome to fireside chat number twenty-nine between Rachael Herron and I.

Don’t forget, Patrons get early access to these Black Herron episodes an entire month early and then we air them on the podcast feeds the following month. If you’d like to hear them early you can join me on Patreon from as little as $2 right here.

To find out more about Rachael, you can listen to her show “How Do You Write” or visit her website.
