I am so very thrilled to bring you this interview I did with NYT Bestselling author, Marissa Meyer! Join Marissa and me as we chat about her brand new book, Instant Karma.  We talk about where the idea for Instant Karma came from, why Marissa chose to write a romance, all about the main character, and different themes in the book, Marissa's writing process, and more! I'll also be asking Marissa some questions from her fans/my listeners. Plus, Marissa reveals what her next book will be!! ...
