Uh, so why don't you tell everybody what the book is about and the scene that I'm referring to?
2:40
Yeah, sure, and thanks.

That is literally my dream, by the way, that you've, like, just described, is having readers on planes, like, taking photos with it, having people strike up conversations when they see the plane on the cover.

So thank you for that.

Um, so this book follows Andy Walker.
2:54
She is a 30-something business consultant who is essentially running away from her real life in Boston, Massachusetts, down to Durham, North Carolina.

She's a soon to be divorcee, and everything is sort of falling apart.

So, I mean, writing has always been a part of my life.
1:28
So I always like to start like with that because my journey has sort of been all over the place.
1:33
So when I was younger, like, you know, adolescent, teenager, loved writing stories, thought I was going to become a journalist, went to college to get my journalism degree.
1:42
And then I got to journalism school and I was like, oh my gosh, this is like not a job you make a lot of money from.
1:47
Yeah.
