On this episode, I got to talk with novelist Kristy Cambron and literary agent, Rachelle Gardner. I talk with this dynamic duo about Kristi’s new novel, The Paris Dressmaker. We talk about how they work together and how they met. We dig into their sources of creativity, plus they share the how and why of being jazzed about great fiction.
