b'This week, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling YA author (and fellow Tar Heel!) Ren\\xe9e Ahdieh joins us on the podcast! Ren\\xe9e recently finished a book tour for her most recent novel Smoke in the Sun, a sequel to her magical-action hit Flame in the Mist. Her debut novel, Wrath in the Dawn, was inspired by A Thousand and One Nights, which kicked off Ren\\xe9e\\u2019s prowess for retelling fairy and folk tales in fresh and inclusive ways. \\nRenee\\u2019s talent for world building is born from her own love of stories and strong characters; as a fangirl herself, she endorses the idea of falling in love with possibility--no matter the story you consume. We talk about how important it is to embrace the things you love, even when it\\u2019s written off as not having critical value.\\n\\nWhere you can find Ren\\xe9e:\\nInstagram: @reneeahdieh\\nYouTube: http://ow.ly/DCjY30l55X6 \\n\\nYou can also follow her on Twitter (@rahdieh), Facebook (@ReneeAhdiehAuthor) and Tumblr (http://rahdieh.tumblr.com/).\\n\\nFind all Ren\\xe9e\\u2019s books and find out what\\u2019s coming next at her website, http://www.reneeahdieh.com/.'
