Angie describes her protagonist, Cara Romero, who came to her in a moment of deep despair; the African American stories that helped her feel connected during the pandemic; and her journey from MFA to four years of rejection to award-winning books! Finally, as a board member of her local bookshop, she reminds us to slow down, walk to our local stores, and connect with small business owners. </p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.</p><p>Amazon: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/3uf6Bvd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bit.ly/3uf6Bvd</a></p><p>Bookshop: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/3Vz3U38\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bit.ly/3Vz3U38</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter <a href=\"https://zibbyowens.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8aaa1ce151a09216fdc1d6414&amp;id=4cf0ef4d3c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p><p>Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch <a href=\"https://www.bonfire.com/store/zibby-owens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
