CALLING ALL DOG LOVERSThis week, we are recovering from a chaotic (and snowy!) weekend as Aimee dreads her holiday laundry and Russell continues his fascinating deep dive into the world of "Dark Romance" book trends—specifically, why fans are getting tattoos of book quotes on their backs!Then, we have a heartwarming and insightful conversation with Canadian author Holly B. Gutwillinger. Holly joins us from Northern Ontario (where it's currently -20 degrees!) to discuss her upcoming novel, a story about healing, purpose, and the unique bond between humans and their rescue dogs.In this episode, we discuss:🐶 The Reality of Rescue Dogs: Holly shares the moving story of her own dogs, Sully and Cash, and the realization that you can't always "fix" a rescue dog—sometimes, love is about acceptance.✍️ Fiction with a Purpose: Why Holly chose to write a fictional story rather than a memoir to give her anxious dog, Sully, a voice.❄️ Life in Northern Ontario: Snowstorms, freezing temperatures, and finding inspiration in the quiet of winter.📚 Russell’s Genre Education: The team discusses book tattoos, sprayed edges, and why "Dark Romance" is taking over the book world.📖 The Writing Journey: Holly talks about finding her voice as a writer later in life and the therapeutic nature of storytelling.Tune in for a mix of laughs, touching dog stories, and a look at how fiction can help us understand the real world a little better.
