Oh, this book! ❤️ For my latest author intervi Oh, this book! ❤️ For my latest author interview, I chatted with @jamiebrennerwrites, who wrote BLUSH —the buzzworthy book you’ll probably be seeing everywhere this summer. Jamie told me, “I wanted to pay homage to the books I read growing up that made me aspire to be a novelist because of how much escapism they gave me—all those really juicy, trashy blockbuster novels.” The book follows 3 generations of women who convene at their family winery for the summer and resurrect the grandmother’s old trashy novel book club. And through these books, they slowly come to realize what they can do to save the family winery. I loved hearing Jamie’s story of how she got started writing, what she learned about publishing while working in the industry, and who she’s picturing as a reader when she’s penning her drafts. You can watch the full interview in the link in my bio. Hope you enjoy! And for more author interviews, check out my website juliepennell.com!

I was unexpectedly super emotional on my baby’s I was unexpectedly super emotional on my baby’s first birthday and found relief the only way I knew how: a cathartic writing session about my crazy wild year raising a newborn during a pandemic. Grateful to @parents for publishing this personal piece. You can read it at the link in my bio. I hope other mamas (even if you didn’t give birth in the past year) can relate to these reflections 💕
