Ann Werner is my mom and the author of many books. Today, we discuss her trilogy about a global pandemic. Book one: The Melt. Book two The Augurs, and book three The Adepts was just released.

After we chatted about her books, we dove right into politics; the amazing and very entertaining Democratic National Convention; Tim Walz is our real-life Ted Lasso; if we all vote, we will see a blue wave--maybe even a blue tsunami and why MAGA will likely fail at cheating--but don't get happy!
