Au Rendezvous with Tom Kreffer

Au Rendezvous

Today in conversation with author Dad Tom Kreffer about his upcoming second book - Dear Arlo Adventures in #Dadding. His first book Dear Dory has been a major success, an honest account of being a first-time dad. Dear Arlo comes out soon and we chat about the emotional, fun and the serious events mentioned in the #book. Tom is also the creator of Adventures in Dadding #newsletter that acts as a guide for parenting from a dad point of view.

You can #subscribe to the newsletter via his website ! About Tom:

He believes his writing career started out as a complete fluke. It began when he found out that his partner was #pregnant. The news was unexpected to say the least, because they were told that they wouldn't #conceivenaturally.
