Thursday, September 25, Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill is hosting a book talk with acclaimed author M.L. Rio, a UNC alum whose latest novel is “Hot Wax” – a thrilling journey across time and through the rock music scene, with a woman who’s simultaneously running toward and away from her past.

Visit FlyleafBooks.com for more on the book talk, and visit MLRio.com for more on the book itself.

Aaron welcomes M.L. Rio to the studio to discuss the book, its fascinating characters, and her inspiration for writing – including a long and eventful road trip across the U.S. for research.
