About: Megan McCarthy-Biank
I've been reading for pleasure for a very long time. Back in 2019, Steve asked me to write book reviews for the website, and then I teamed up with him to do some interviews at C2E2 2020. Since then, I've been lucky enough to connect with authors and their publishers for upcoming book releases and interview opportunities, which then become Cantina Conversations for the podcast.
Any fellow bookworms are encouraged to read my book reviews and listen to the author interviews. You can also find me on Goodreads.
