OK, Brittni Huyck was gone for a minute but she's back now, and she has a new story to tell, literature(ly). The local author, hairstylist, and Three Rivers native dropped by Keep Your Voice Down Thursday to promote the fourth (and possibly final) book in her Iron City Heat Series "Someone Like Him."

Doug, Alek, and Brit discuss the obstacles she encountered between writing her third and fourth book, why she may be done writing romance novels, how "Someone Like Him" is different from her three previous books, and may be her best work yet.

"Someone Like Him" officially drops on December 31 but you can pre-order your copy today on Amazon. Brazen Beauty Bar (56964 N. Main St. Suite 4, Three Rivers) will host a launch party for Brittni's new novel on Friday, January 10 from 6-8 p.m. where you can get a signed copy of the book and meet the author.

Following Brittni's interview (54:07), Alek and Doug fill listeners in on what's happened in their lives since the last time they recorded an episode, and Doug gives a moving tribute to his late cat Samwell.

The show’s theme is “Howling at the Moon” by D Fine Us, and this week’s outro music is “Big Leagues” by Vic Sage. You can support Keep Your Voice Down and Watershed Voice with a donation here.
