In this episode, I'm chatting with author TJ Klune about his new book In The Lives Of Puppets, the importance of libraries and indie bookshops, the two people who sparked his love of writing, and books!

TJ KLUNE is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Extraordinaries, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
