Welcome to the shit show.

Things are going to get weird.

It's your fay villain, Kail Lowler.

And you're listening to Barely Famous. All right, Alice, welcome to barely famous podcast. Thank you for being here.

Thank you so much for having me.

And you said this was your first podcast.

Yes.

This is your first podcast.

I'm very excited about that.

I have been so immersed into the book world that I'm so excited that you agreed to come on.

I just think it's a great podcast.

I listened.

It's the first podcast I've listened to all the way through.

I was hooked. I thought, I have been missing out. I'm basically an old lady trapped in a slightly younger woman's body. And what have I been doing all this time? This is the place to be. It's better late than never, right? So we're here to talk about Beautiful Ugly, your new book. And if you're going to get this on Amazon, you're going to have to pre-order it

for the next launch because it's sold out. It's out of stop. It's not believe it. It's launch day.

Yes. One day in. What an amazing problem to have. What a lovely problem to have. How do you feel?

I'm so excited. This book was so long in the making and I loved writing this one. I've written seven, I've had seven books published now.

I've written a few more that have not been published. But for it to finally be out in the world

just feels like magic. And I love that readers can finally enjoy this story about Grady Green.

Honestly, though, even if I didn't have you here today, I would have bought this book solely for the cover.

Isn't it beautiful?

Because the cover is stunning and it has like a little, a little shimmer to it. I absolutely love it.
