Hello My Happy People,
This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt—Book Talk Podcast, I welcome Cassie Miller, the debut author of Meet Me Under the Lights, available on PenguinTeen.com. We discuss her journey to publication and the story behind her first novel.
Set in a small North Carolina town where baseball and tradition go hand in hand, Meet Me Under the Lights follows two childhood friends whose families have spent decades on opposite sides of a bitter feud. As first love, community theater, and championship baseball collide, Eliza and Reed must decide whether love is worth risking everything they've ever known.
Cassie also shares how her years as a high school English teacher, her family's rich theatrical history, and her own experiences behind the scenes have shaped her writing. Plus, she gives listeners a preview of her upcoming Christmas novel, Meet Me on Mistletoe Lane, talks about her love of cardigans, and reveals why the Percy Jackson television series is one of her favorite adaptations.
As of this writing, Meet Me Under the Lights is listed with a #1 banner on Amazon.com for Teen & Young Adult Baseball & Softball Fiction
