Unearth the secrets of juggling multiple roles with my guest, Jessica Martin, a lawyer and an author who has penned two books. Jessica’s story is about balancing motherhood, a demanding profession, and her lifelong passion for writing.

Jessica reveals the process of writing her books, from finding an agent on Twitter to the intricate process of editing and publishing. She unpacks her strategies for staying organized, meeting deadlines, and maintaining character consistency. Furthermore, Jessica introduces us to her journey through the often daunting world of book marketing, focusing on bookstore visits and the importance of supporting indie bookstores.

In the last leg of our conversation, we delve into the digital realm with Jessica, exploring how she navigates the world of online reviews. Giving us insight into her experiences with choosing a narrator for the audiobook and also the book cover creation, Jessica talks about how she manages her social media presence and how she uses it to connect with her fans. Our discussion wraps up with a chat about her books 'For the Love of the Bard' and 'The Dane of My Existence,' and a peek into the possibility of these works maybe someday, being adapted for the screen!
