Grumpily Ever After
An uncensored podcast where swoon-worthy meets eye-rolling as I, an avid reader and adventure romance author, chat with my grumpy husband, who has inspired all of my book boyfriends written to date. Join us as we chat about books he’ll never read, words he thinks are stupid, and all his grumbles in between. If nothing else, we hope to make you smile and brighten your day. So settle in and let’s see where today’s chapter takes us. If you’d like to learn more about us, visit www.LindseyPogue.com/grumpy for more information.
