Hey you all! The podcast is back this week and we are introducing you all to one of our newest co-hosts, author Terri Ley! Terri is a talented author and creative in KY who loves all things romance.
About Terri:I come from quiet noise, fans beating generating wind on sticky summer days. Notes of magnolias, roses, tulips, lilies scent the air with the aromas of good home cooking settling into my belly. Thick heavy scratch blankets scented with nicotine and a nap so readily conjured for a peaceful rest.
