  Speaker 3: because I used to read books by Zamee and Norah
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Roberts and it intrigued me. And that's the.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Reason why I became an author. I was really so,

  Speaker 1: How long have you been.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Writing since two thousand and nine?

• 13:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to see how it works doing publishing, actually publishing
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the book. They taught me how to do that, so
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I want to see both sides of it, and that's

• 29:06
  Speaker 4: hardest part about writing that.

• 31:18
  Speaker 3: them that Ale had died. But it wasn't her, it
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: was another family. They had a mishap. So I would
