Interview with Laura Conner Kestner and a Giveaway!

Welcome to Readers Write to Know! I asked you, my readers, what questions they would ask their favorite authors if given the chance, and the authors visiting my blog answered them!

I hope you enjoy her interview as much as I did. Read on to see how you can enter to win a copy of her latest release (isn’t that cover amazing?!)

Stuffed shells is a great dish to use as a crowd-pleaser, and perfect for any group get-together.
