[ISBW] Writing Between the US and Peru with K.M. Huber

"If you feel you have something to say, just put the time into saying it." -K.M. Huber

---

In this episode, we welcome K.M. Huber, the author of Call of the Owl Woman, about her journey from writer to published author. K.M. talks about how her years in Peru, including extensive exploration and research into local mythology, affected her writing and her new book.

Call of the Owl Woman is heavily influenced by those years, and is written for her daughter (who asked for it many years ago.)
