In the Spotlight – Kary Rader

Kary Profile PicThe fabulous Kary Rader is back with her newest novel, A Taylor-Made Life. We see a different side of Kary today as she turns to serious themes and life-changing events. I’m fortunate to count this wonderful lady as a friend and I have tremendous admiration for her as a writer and as a person.

Contrary to what the picture may imply, I’m not interviewing a dragon today. Of course anyone who knows me knows I adore dragons and would love to interview one. Well, one of the ones that don’t munch on people. But today I have an even better guest, the camera-shy author, Terry Reid. She sent me the lovely dragon to represent her. Works for me. Today we’ll be chatting about her novel, Crashing Down to Earth.
