The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowle, and fans of Emily Henry's People We Meet On Vacation but who found the romance and wanderlust lacking a little tiger mom oversight.

I am your host, Trevor, and today I am overjoyed to be joined once again by Rachel Harrison, who is the New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice, So Thirsty, Black Sheep, Such Sharp Teeth, Cackle, and The Return, which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel.

Her short fiction has appeared in Guernica, in Electric Literature's recommended reading as an Audible original, and in her debut collection, Bad Dolls.

She lives in Western New York with her husband and their cat slash overlord.

Her new book, Kiss, Slay, Replay, comes out from Berkeley on September 8th this year.
