Fresh off the heels of her second novel, 'Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl' Joya pops by to tell us all about how her first book, 'Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry' went through the publishing rollercoaster and the challenges of writing something new after a very successful debut. We also talk about the struggles that come from outside of the writing like the publicity and interviews, and how she balances those with the rest of her life.
