Staying True to Your Characters . . . and Bigfoot w/ Author Missy Hancock

Text the Bookcast and say "hi"! Welcome to Chapter 57! My guest today is Missy Hancock. Missy describes herself as a wife of one, mom of six, and grammy of one. She’s lived in Oklahoma since she was ten and is happily settled in Guthrie, America. She says her motto in life is to live by love, not by fear. In the fall of 2023 Missy released three books in her Ele Charmichael series, under her pen name - M. Sparks Clark. We have a fun conversation about her work, self-publishing, staying true to your characters, and, of course, Bigfoot.
