Writer Groupie Episode 37 The Entertaining King Twins

October 06, 2015

Welcome to October and the start of a whole new month of Writer Groupie! On the audio portion of the show, I catch you up to date on industry news, what's the latest from me, and who's coming on the show today. I will always have good stuff in the intro to the audio (podcast) so be sure to tune in either here on the blog or at iTunes.

Now off we go, and on with the show!

_____________

My guests this week are Margaret and Kat King, also known as, The King Twins. You may remember they came on the show back in the early spring. This visit was a lot of fun, they had a great new rap for me, and we discussed their three new children's books, including BOO!

Margaret and Kat King are Oxford, Mississippi natives and are alums of Ole Miss. These fantastic authors are always bringing humor and fun into everything they do. Today, they share how important entertainment value is in the writing world today.


In this episode, we discuss what the twins have been up to and how it is going to change the life of one of their dearest friends, Josephine. This episode will make you laugh, make you smile, and make you believe you can be an entertainer in all facets of life.
