Are you on Goodreads? It's what I like to think of as social media for enthusiastic readers. It's the place where I document all the books I've finished for the yearly reading challenge and share a bit about my work on my author page.

In short, they are utterly fabulous. And funny. Need proof? Check out their podcast, We Fight So You Don't Have To. Naturally, I'm already excited for their latest novel, Forever Hold Your Peace, to hit stores July 11. If you haven't pre-ordered already, you can do so here. While we wait for their new story, I thought it would be fun to have them answer the Banister Questionnaire.
Suzie Waltner is one of those incredible authors who not only writes her own books but is just as generous about sharing her expertise with fellow novelists. All while rocking a full-time day job.
Mallory Pierce is the pen name for one of my all-time favorite rom-com authors Tracie Banister (no relation). In our recent Q&A she discusses the new chapter of her writing career.
