Hey! Welcome to a bonus interview episode of Dogs are Smarter Than People, the usually quirky podcast that gives writing tips and life tips. I’m Carrie Jones and with me today is Jessica Burkhart
Jessica Burkhart is the author of the best-selling 20-book Canterwood Crest series with over 1.5 million copies in print in multiple languages. Her other works include the Unicorn Magic series and the stand-alone YA novel WILD HEARTS. She makes her editorial debut with LIFE INSIDE MY MIND: 31 Authors Share Their Personal Struggles
Jessica’s mom hates squirrels but she still gave Jessica a chocolate squirrel for Easter? WHY?!? Jessica explains that to us if you listen.
And we talk about being brave, being neurodivergent and being an author. I hope you’ll listen and give Jessica all the applause.
Spoiler: I, Carrie, absolutely adore Jessica.
Spoiler #2: This interview touches on mental illness, addiction, and writing. And Jessica? She is brilliant.
You can find out more about Jessica and her books here on her website.
