In this episode of the David Watson Podcast, I sit down with Jessica K. Foster, author of Andy and the Extroverts and other funny, heartfelt Young Adult Contemporary romances. Jessica shares her journey from middle school Language Arts teacher to published YA author, and we talk about balancing creativity, teaching, and family life in West Michigan. We dive into what makes YA romance so powerful, the emotional truths behind her stories, and how she finds humour and heart in the everyday lives of teens. Jessica also offers insight into the writing process, her love for romantic beach reads, and how her students inspire her characters. Whether you’re a writer, teacher, or YA fiction lover, you’ll find this conversation full of warmth, laughter, and inspiration.
