Guest: Julie Murphy - If the Shoe Fits

Published: Aug. 2, 2021, noon

Marissa chats with Julie Murphy about her first adult romance - IF THE SHOE FITS - and her 8 million other projects (PUMPKIN, FAITH, anthologies, oh my!); as well as a little bit of TWILIGHT appreciation; working with a publisher on packaged projects and how much creative control Julie had in her Disney-based romance; placing characters, especially villains, in "different lights" in order to alter how both the reader and other characters respond to them; how groundbreaking and inspiring DUMPLIN' and Julie's full-figured protagonists have been for the market; and some of the differences between writing young adult versus (closed door) adult romance. Also: a mini cameo from Marissa's mom. (Hi Mom!)
