Ready to write your own adventure—on the page and in life? On this episode of Who Says That!?, Cindy Lynn welcomes the endlessly creative Aloura Charles: book author, screenwriter, director, mom, and accidental vitamin prankster. From swing dancing nights in Burbank (with Beck in attendance!) to epic bike rides, parenting with purpose, and wrangling the inner artist after life’s curveballs, this chat is a testament to staying curious, connected, and just a little chaotic.
We cover everything from the origins of Aloura Charles’ “Sucked In” middle grade series (and why reading aloud really, really matters), to handling grief, to building your own tribe—one crazy story (or science-faction script) at a time. Plus: the sweatiest Italian Halloween, Ghostbuster costumes, and why foaming at the mouth is sometimes inevitable on a film set.
