I’m a podcast convert, are you? Join me on Art in Fiction with Carol Cram!

August 9, 2020 by Patricia Sands 2 Comments

It was a pleasure to spend time chatting about DRAWING LESSONS with the creator of Art in Fiction, west-coast Canada author Carol Cram. Make yourself comfortable with your favourite beverage and let us keep you company.

“The Art In Fiction Podcast is a weekly show hosted by author and Art In Fiction founder Carol M. Cram. Join Carol as she delves into what makes great, arts-inspired fiction in a variety of genres, from historical fiction and mysteries to crime novels, thrillers, contemporary fiction, and more. Carol discusses writing topics and interviews a selection of top authors featured on Art In Fiction, a curated online database of novels inspired by the arts, from Music to Dance to Literature to Visual Arts and beyond. Discover awesome novels and get the lowdown on what it takes to be a successful author of novels inspired by the arts.”

Click right here to join us!

Coincidentally, DRAWING LESSONS is on sale in the UK for the month of August ~ just .99 GBP. It’s a great opportunity to pick up copies for your friends too at Amazon.co.uk!

I hope you feel the beauty and intrigue of Arles and the Camargue as you linger on the pages of Drawing Lessons.
