Summary
In this interview, I chat with Craig Thomas about That's Not How It Happened, having his book selected for Book of the Month, how he decided to write a book, weaving the craziness of Hollywood into his story, Darcy's character and how she is resonating with readers, casting the amazing audiobook, and much more. Craig's recommended reads are: The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride Wonder by R.J.
