Confessions of a (Not So) Boring Reader: A Conversation with Author Anna A. Armstrong

The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast

In this episode of "The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast" we celebrate being boring! I have the pleasure of interviewing cozy mystery writer Anna A. Armstrong - who is NOT a boring writer! We kick off our conversation by discussing our mutual love for Jane Austen, acknowledging that while it may seem basic to some, we find immense comfort in her timeless works like "Pride and Prejudice." Embracing our so-called "boring" tastes, we chat about the joy and comfort these classic stories bring us. Anna also shares her inspiring journey to becoming a writer, giving us an inside look at her process and her delightful FitzMorris Family Mystery series. Join us for a delightful chat that celebrates the beauty of simplicity and the charm of beloved literature.
