Why Adults Love Younger YA (12+): Exploring The Concealed with Author S.K. Horton (E171)
Description
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with SK Horton, a physician by day and book lover by night. She lives in sunny Arizona with her husband and two daughters, where she can often be found planning the next great family vacation, experimenting with a new recipe, or indulging in her love of fancy coffee and tea.
Key Highlights:
- Her younger YA series Heir of Earth and Sky, beginning with Book 1: The Concealed.
- Balancing a full-time career as a radiologist with writing.
- Genres of audiobooks we both enjoy.
- How YA continues to expand as more adults are reading it.
- Why authors feel like celebrities to us.
- Her book flight featuring younger YA reads (ages 12+).
