About this episode

Darby Bozeman discusses her debut novel and the concept of chaotic writing.

Darby Bozeman’s first book has just come out, and this is a wonderful celebration of writing on the more chaotic side!  Darby Bozeman grew up in Portland, Oregon, but she’s spent the better part of her adult life in the South. She has a master’s in teaching from the University of Georgia and she taught middle school English for five years. When she’s not reading or writing, she loves acting in community theater and discussing pop culture. She lives in Knoxville with her husband, Bryan, and their cat, Claude.
