Episode 581: Rise From Ruin by Melissa Olthoff

The Blasters & Blades PodcastI had a blast chatting with Melissa Olthoff, an awesome US Air Force Zoomie turned wordsmith. She wrote the book Rise From Ruin in her Griffin Core Series. I am definitely hooked, I want to read them when the audiobook comes out! We also waxed poetic about our nerdy origin stories. You’ll enjoy this one, seriously! This was a fun interview, go check it out!
