Couch Convos w/ Lisa W. Tetting featuring Author Yecheilyah Ysrayl
My Author Interview with the beautiful Lisa Tetting.
Welcome to another edition of Couch Convos with your girl, Lisa W. Tetting. Today we have a special treat for you. Author Yecheilyah Ysrayl, aka EC, joins us to talk about her short story trilogy, Stella. It is a unique take on racism, slavery and provides a history lesson we all need to learn.
