Book Club~ We’re deep into our July #teamALUreads pick, Two-Gun & Sun. This week we interviewed author June Hutton about some of our questions. Top of the list: were there actually solar panels way back when?~ We went Under the Cover with author Stella Leventoyannis Harvey to see what it’s like for an author to go into a book club to discuss their own work.
