    Join us as we interview Lainey Cameron, author of multi award-winning & best selling The Exit Strategy, creator and host of The Best of Women’s Fiction Podcast, book marketing coach, member of WFWA and nomad author exploring the world.

    SHOW NOTES:

    Welcome

    How did you get into the business of writing?

    You are so well-traveled, living as a nomad, having been to 50+ countries, yet you say writing is the scariest thing you’ve ever done. Can you speak to that?

    In your novel, The Exit Strategy, you write about a character working against all odds in a venture capitalist environment. Why that setting and that topic?

    In everything you do, you seek to empower women? How does that drive your business endeavors?
