In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Jen Delozier, who writes under the pen name J.L. Delozier, discusses her new novel, The Photo Thief. Jen is a retired physician who worked in disaster relief for many years. Now, as an author of five novels, she finds herself inspired by science that exits on what she calls “the edge of reality” -- such things as bizarre medical anomalies, new genetic discoveries, and anything that seems too weird to be true. The Photo Thief, her latest novel, is a modern gothic murder mystery. In this book, a grieving detective meets a troubled, epileptic teen who claims her socialite mother was murdered. The young woman’s evidence? Dead people. Specifically, those appearing in a series of vintage crime-scene photographs displayed on the wall of her family’s mansion. Are her sources from beyond the grave correct? You’ll have to pick up a copy of The Photo Thief to find out. In this episode, I’ll chat with Jen about her writing journey, the inspiration for her main character, Detective Brennan, and the interesting historical tidbit that gave her the idea for the book’s title.

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Claire Seeber discusses her new book, The Birthday Reunion. Claire is the author of nine books, all of them dark, twisty, psychological thrillers. The Birthday Reunion is no exception. This novel is a twist on the domestic thriller, featuring four middle-aged women who were best friends in their early twenties but haven’t spoken in twenty years. When three of them are invited to the fourth woman’s birthday party on a gorgeous island in the Mediterranean, the four women reunite. And in typical Claire Seeber fashion, everything goes horribly wrong. As a psychotherapist, Claire has always been fascinated by the reasons people do the things they do, particularly when it comes to secrets and lies. Her work has informed her writing, and the results are fast-paced novels full of cliff-hangers and complex human psychology. In this episode, I’ll chat with Claire about her writing journey, how her former training and work as an actor and director helps shape her stories, and why she says she feels “compelled” to write.
