BONUS: Author Kia Carrington-Russell

Happy Friday, nerds! This week's bonus episode is with author Kia Carrington-Russell, who was so much fun to chat with! We spoke about all kinds of nerdy things including the moment she knew she wanted to be an author, pub crawls and being foodie friends! Background on Kia: With a recognizable style of kick ass heroines, fast-paced action, and romance that dances from light to dark, she’s been pronounced “the new up and coming author to look out for,” and her writing style that’s referred to as “hauntingly beautiful.” Kia’s books have been recognized on multiple best-seller lists, most noticeably, her “Token Huntress” and “My Escort”, now known as New York Nights, series for which she’s won numerous awards and notable reviews, including “Readers' Favorite” 5 star reviews for “Token Huntress” and “The Shadow Minds Journal.” She has a firm belief in giving back to the writing community—sharing knowledge, promotions, and opportunities that might help other authors reach their readers, including running her own YouTube channel, Bound by Books, where she interviews fellow authors and other industry professionals. In her home country of Australia, she takes her cavoodle, Sia, along morning walks on beautiful coastline beaches, building worlds in the sea breezes and contemplating where she’ll go next. Listen in as we find out more about Kia, what she's currently reading, and her fave fandoms.
