Debut Author Podcast: Meg Hamand

Meg Hamand’s debut novel Diamonds in Auschwitz was cited as “a significant contribution to Holocaust literature” by Readers’ Favorite and was an Amazon Bestseller and a #1 New Release. It was awarded second place in Women’s Historical Fiction by The BookFest, first place in Historical Fiction by Firebird Book Awards, and the Prodigy (Best Debut Novel) Award from StoryTrade Awards.

Meg has had a heart for storytelling since her first publication in elementary school.
