This week, we’re chatting with author Christian Hurst about his writing journey, the ups and downs of creating Lily Starling, and what it was like growing up Mormon—and, much like his book character, how he had to choose his own path. From early influences to the real-life experiences that shape his work, Christian brings humor, honesty, and a ton of insight. Whether you're into books, personal stories, or just good convos, this one's worth a listen.

You can snag Christian Hurst's book, "Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander" by visiting: 

churstpublishing.com or lilystarlingbook.com and selecting your favorite retailer. 

Or purchase the paperback online at bookshop.org to help support local bookstores!
