What started as an Instagram Live series has now turned into a podcast. The first seven episodes are from that series, so if you missed it on Instagram, no worries. Here you go!

In this seventh episode, Chrissy interviews Ofelia Martinez, author of Hiding in the Smoke. Chrissy starts with a question about nature and Would You Rather questions about books. Then she launches into Ofelia Martinez's romance, Hiding in the Smoke.

As the first book in this series, it is a steamy rockstar romance with Bren, an international rockstar, possessive and grumpy, and Sofia, a bar owner, career-minded, hyper, and independent.

Throughout the episode, Ofelia and Chrissy discuss the connection to readers, managing publishing multiple books and marketing, batching social media content,  making connections, the importance of Latinas' writing Latina characters, translating books to Mexican Spanish, and tequila.

Near the end, Ofelia reads one of her favorite scenes, with some real-life tea to spill (SPOILERS). Be sure to check out Hiding in the Smoke or other work by Ofelia Martinez, such as Remission or Contusion
