Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Love by the Book with Jessica George
Q: Can you tell us what your book is about in a nutshell?
Love By The Book follows two women who meet in a bookshop and form a deep, platonic bond that becomes the central relationship of the story, exploring friendship, loneliness, and how love languages shape how friends show up for each other.
Wreck with Catherine Newman
Q: Can we expect more of Rocky and her family in future books?
I'm not sure yet, but I am taking notes for what comes next.
Wreck with Catherine Newman
Q: What inspired you to revisit the character Rocky in your new book?
The character Rocky felt like the only perspective I could write from and there was a long time curiosity about emotional responsibility in accidents.
Table for One with Emma Gannon
Q: How did the writing experience differ from your previous novels?
It was a challenging process that took four years, unlike my debut novel which flowed more easily.
Table for One with Emma Gannon
Q: What inspired you to write a novel centered on this theme?
Inspired by other literature exploring similar themes, and a desire to question societal views on women spending time alone.
