In this episode, Julia chats with debut author Ivy Fairbanks about her novel Morbidly Yours! Initially independently published, now re-released through a traditional publisher and with two more to follow! In her book, Lark (an animator and recently widowed Texan) picks up and moves across the world to Galway, Ireland, where she meets Callum (an undertaker and socially anxious mess) and the two become unlikely friends. The book handles grief, love, and anxiety in such a way that it'll be hard to put down!
