Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Black Death to World War I: Survival Secrets from History 💀🪖
Q: Why did Nora come to dislike the Normans so much in the story?
Her hatred is rooted in the Norman conquest's upheaval—loss of status, language shifts, and the brutal aftermath, which the book uses to show how ordinary people experienced big historical changes.
Codebreaking Clues, Hidden Identities and a Mystery You Can’t Look Away From 🔍🕵️‍♀️
Q: Beginnings or endings?
Beginnings are preferred for the thrill of not knowing where the story will lead.
Codebreaking Clues, Hidden Identities and a Mystery You Can’t Look Away From 🔍🕵️‍♀️
Q: First of all, books or Kindles?
Jennifer Liss prefers real books for the tactile experience, though she acknowledges the convenience of Kindles and other formats.
Pixies, Dark Secrets and a Shocking Murder at a Grand Hotel🏨✨
Q: How does the author approach balancing adventure and mystery for a younger audience, especially in a world where magic is a commodity?
The balance is achieved by keeping the stakes high and the world richly described while ensuring clues are fair and solvable, so readers feel they could have solved the mystery with careful attention.
Pixies, Dark Secrets and a Shocking Murder at a Grand Hotel🏨✨
Q: So first of all, Darren, can you tell us, if we're just opening up The Shadow Seeker right now, who do we meet and where are they?
We meet Ben and Charlie, who are about to start their apprenticeship at the Royal Institute of Magic, starting a journey that blends school life with magical adventures and a mystery about Ben's parents.
