Show Notes

What do you get when you take a huge risk? Everything. Don’t miss this delightful chat with Jessica Payne about risk, ideas, and split keyboards!

Jessica Payne lives in Washington State with her daughter, husband, and an internet search history that would raise eyebrows. A firm believer in strong coffee and stronger women, she writes about mothers who know how to handle a sniper rifle and a carpool schedule with equal precision. When she's not writing, you'll find her trail running through the forests of the Pacific Northwest as she plots her next fictional murder. She has been featured on Cosmopolitan.com and People.com and Somebody Worth Killing is her most recent release.
