Welcome Groupies! This is the interview I have been promising you for a while. Due to lack of internet for a solid week, I got behind in posting, so you are getting it now. Two podcasts in one week! This is a very good thing, so I hope you enjoy it!

**Remember to listen to the audio only version of the podcast for the latest info on Writer Groupie, my work, and info from the writing industry. Tips and tools you will use for producing your own work. I don’t include the audio intro on the video. **

Don’t forget–you can see the upcoming guest list on the WG page here and I hope you enjoy each episode!

Now off we go, and on with the show!

Janie Franz

Janie Franz comes from a long line of liars and storytellers with roots deep in east Tennessee. Honed by the frigid Northern Plains and the high desert of New Mexico, as well as a degree in anthropology, her writing skill and curiosity have generated thousands of feature and cover articles over a vast range of topics for more than a hundred regional, national, and international publications.

Janie, the author of eleven titles, is full of great information and inspiration for authors, so I am excited to have her on Writer Groupie Podcast.

Janie’s Bowdancer Saga and if there will be more books coming out soon
