Ep 138: Exploring Ohio with Author Libby Kay
It’s our final stop in our journey across the fifty states!
Did you know Ohio’s not just cornfields? Join our author of the week, Libby Kay, as she tells us all about the surprisingly diverse landscapes of Ohio, from bustling cities like Columbus and Cleveland to serene hiking spots and Lake Erie’s vibrant lakeside life.
Libby also discusses her writing journey, her background in history and librarianship, and her penchant for small-town romances. Our book of the week, Falling Home, is the first book in Libby’s Buckeye Falls series. Inspired by a charming diner in Galena, OH, it’s got all the small-town, Hallmark vibes.

Meet Libby Kay
Libby Kay lives in the city in the heart of the Midwest with her husband. When she’s not writing, Libby loves reading romance novels of any kind. Stories of people falling in love nourish her soul. Contemporary or Regency, sweet or hot, as long as there is a happily ever after—she’s in love!
When not surrounded by books, Libby can be found baking in her kitchen, binging true crime shows, or on the road with her husband, traveling as far as their bank account will allow.
