The newest episode of the DMPL Podcast features Angeline Boulley, author of the hit novel Firekeeper's Daughter. Boulley chats with host Aaron Gernes about the whirlwind of a year she's had since her book was released to rave reviews from both the professional press and readers. She also discusses a story from high school that in part inspired her to write Firekeeper's Daughter and reveals what her next book has to do with Laura Croft.

Angeline will be taking part in Authors Visiting in Des Moines (AViD) on Saturday, March 26, at 5:00 PM as part of the DSM Book Festival. The Book Festival takes place at Capital Square (400 Locust Street) from 9:00 AM-7:00 PM. The event is free, and seating is first-come, first-served. More information about AViD and the DSM Book Festival can be found in the Show Notes below.
