Ep. 9 Alyssa Cole: A Hope Divided and Hamilton’s Battalion

IMG_1099

We’re joined this week by Alyssa Cole, the award winning author of contemporary, historical, and sci fi/fantasy romance. She has two brilliant recent releases: A Hope Divided and Hamilton’s Battalion. We discuss how Hamilton’s Battalion came about, her powerful The Loyal League series, and her writing process–as well as why she no longer drinks martinis! We love her thoughts on why a Happily Ever After is important.
