Our final pre-launch BookHounds interview was with Aimée Bissonette. She is the author of Northwoods Girl and Miss Colfax’s Light. We had some technical difficulties while recording this interview due to malfunctions of my own. However, I was able to capture the story in full and most of the interview.

Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the show.
