    E&P Interview with Author Mariana Zapata!

    Attention romance readers this episode is extra exciting and special. In celebration of the Avon publishing release of "The Wall of Winnipeg and Me" we got to have a huddle with the queen of slow burn romance Mariana Zapata!! Not only do we dish about Winnipeg and many things Aiden and Vanessa, but got some insight into the chaos of writing and more unforgettable moments. We had lots of laughs along the way, possibly ruined an actor for Mariana if he doesn't get the opportunity to play Zach. It was an absolute delight and honor to speak with Mariana and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. So if you haven't read "The Wall of Winnipeg and Me" what are you waiting for?! If football star and his assistant marriage of convenience romance doesn't do it for you, check out her catalogue of other works.
