If you know the lovely and talented Pepper Basham, I don't have to convince you to listen to this episode, but if you haven't been introduced, this episode is a must. For fans of Scotland and all things Scottish, the book is set on the Isle of Mull, filled with Scottish settings and vocabulary.

The Rebeccas chatted with Pepper about writing in two genres, writing with humor, and the importance of keeping large casts of characters contained so readers can keep them all separate and organized in their minds.

Other side conversations include the impact we can have on others even when we don't recognize it, and how God can add nuance and detail to the story. We discussed how He uses us to influence others through our small actions or words to bring joy and light to the world. Rebecca R. enters a passionate pitch for the need for higher lexile YA books in high schools that model positive, uplifting relationships of all sorts.

And there's a reveal regarding Pepper's newest project: A YA contemporary romance.
