Hi SIPers! We're back with a VERY special guest this week. Today we have USA-today bestselling author, Maggie Gates on the podcast! A North Carolina-local, Maggie is known for her cowboy romance series, The Griffin Brothers. In this episode, we're chatting her upcoming small town romance, Blue Jean Summer out September 15th, 2026! You can also meet her in Charlotte at our launch party event on September 17th, 2026!  About Maggie Gates: "I am a USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author and am not nearly as interesting as the characters I write. I spend my days hitting my word counts, wrangling a dog and a kiddo, and trying my best to not survive solely on Coca-Cola. The formal pitch is that I write raw, relatable, romance novels packed full of heat and humor. Thankfully, I didn't listen to the fourth grade teacher who told me to stop daydreaming. I call North Carolina home and, in my spare time, enjoy daydreaming about my characters on long drives, collecting vinyl records, jamming to music, and eating all the barbecue and tacos I can find." Get tickets to see Maggie Gates on 9/17: https://square.link/u/CQtYLGgS Preorder Blue Jean Summer:https://bookshop.org/a/113990/9780593955901  Preorder Blue Jean Summer Audiobook: https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9798217353675-blue-jean-summer?bookstore=tropebookshop Follow Maggie Gates: https://www.instagram.com/authormaggiegates/  Follow Us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thestoryispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thestoryispod⁠⁠    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tropebookshop⁠⁠  ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/trooptropebookclub⁠⁠  ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thats_katiemitchell⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/8ace8⁠
