Ep 127: Exploring Arkansas with Author Tia Marlee
This week we are exploring the natural beauty and small-town charm of Arkansas with author, Tia Marlee.
Tia shares her deep-rooted love for the Natural State, reminiscing about her childhood in the quaint town of Garfield. She paints a vivid picture of serene lakes, lush forests, and the delightful experience of growing up in a close-knit, rural community.
In fact, our book of the week, Wishing for the Girl Next Door, is part of Tia’s Piney Brook series which is inspired by her time spent in northwest Arkansas as a child.
Tia is also part of the Coffee Loft series. Think sweet contemporary romance, fun coffee puns, and interconnected stories. Her next Coffee Loft book, You Mocha Me Crazy, drops later in September.
