Alexa Martin joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel, Mom Jeans and Other Mistakes, which is also her first standalone project. Alexa shares how she managed to write her first book, Intercepted, in just a month and how she caught the writing bug from a combination of creating a blog and reading the Fifty Shades of Grey series. The two also talk about the conversations around race Alexa seeks to start with her books, notably about the disparities in how Black mothers are treated, and how her fiction has offered her a space to work through grief she has endured in her personal life.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xGIQPnBookshop: https://bit.ly/2ZBWZ1HSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.
