Episode 100: On Surviving the Pandemic, Celebrating 100 Episodes & Equine Author Life with Carly Kade (Equestrian Author Spotlight Podcast)

3/25/2022

Episode 100: Welcome to the Equestrian Author Spotlight podcast! In each episode, you’ll hear inspirational stories from horse book authors, including writing advice and marketing tips to help you write your own horse book. If you are an author, aspire to be an author, or simply love horse books, then you are in the right place!

In this episode, I'm turning the tables. I've invited my hubby to return to the show and interview me. We did this a couple years ago for the very first episode. While I was producing this episode, we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary.

In this conversation, you'll get a peek at our relationship, how we survived the pandemic together, how our new horse is fitting into the herd, where I'm heading with my writing, and what's next for the podcast.

Thank you to everyone who has listened in to the show, been a guest, or shared a positive review of the podcast. You make my spurs jingle!

I love that all the authors featured in the Equestrian Author Spotlight are linked through our creativity, passion for writing, and love of horses. I think it is so important to support each other. It means so much when authors unite.
