Guest host Alisha Fernandez Miranda interviews New York Times bestselling author Allison Winn Scotch about The Rewind, an endearing 90s rom-com about two exes who wake up next to each other on New Year’s Day with wedding rings on their fingers and no recollection of how they got there. Allison talks about the joys and frustrations of the traditional publishing process, the difficulties of writing this book mid-pandemic, and her love of the 90s. She also shares her own Y2K New Year’s story (it involves a break-up and an impromptu trip to Cabo), the incredible Adopt a Library initiative she has launched, and the books she is reading and loving!

Next Episode
Zibby interviews #1 New York Times bestselling author Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) about Lighter, a compassionate, humble, and wise guidebook for self-healing that is beautifully entwined with his personal experiences. Yung Pueblo shares his story–his family’s immigration from Ecuador to Boston, the trauma of living in poverty, the escape he found in parties and drugs, and how hitting rock bottom forced him to change. He describes the power of meditation and self-love not only as drivers in his own recovery, but also as necessary pieces in the healing of all humanity. Finally, he talks about his company (Wisdom Ventures), the book he is currently obsessed with, and his best advice for aspiring authors.
