Bookshop Interview with Author Sally Handley (Episode #131)

10/27/2021

0 Comments

 
In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Sally Handley discusses her latest novel, Stop the Threat. In this book, a small town arms its teachers in an attempt to improve school security in the wake of school shootings around the country. The story follows one of the teachers and the school resource officer as they wrestle with the implications of the new policy, which divides the small town and results in unexpected consequences. As a former public-school teacher, Sally wanted to give a voice to the various perspectives surrounding this controversial and complicated topic. Stop the Threat is a stand-alone suspense novel that will make you think, as well as keep you on the edge of your seat. Sally is also the author of the Holly and Ivy cozy mystery series about two sisters who love gardening and find themselves reluctantly drawn into murder investigations. There are currently four books in the Holly and Ivy series, with more on the way. In this episode, I’ll chat with Sally about her writing journey, what she learned at a local police course for civilians that sparked her research for Stop the Threat, and how her sister and a British TV show inspired her cozy mystery series.

Bookshop Interview with Author Rachel Trusty (Episode #130)

10/13/2021

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Rachel Trusty discusses her latest novel, Not Without Yesterday. It is a story told from the dual perspectives of a husband and wife who are dealing with their own demons. Rachel’s inspiration for this book was her own suffering with PTSD from serious medical experiences. Not Without Yesterday provided an avenue for Rachel to deal with her feelings and to seek closure through her characters’ story. This book addresses the idea that none of us wants to be without our yesterdays, even if those experiences aren’t anything we would have chosen for ourselves. In this episode, I’ll chat with Rachel about her writing journey, how Not Without Yesterday differs from the other novels she has written, and why her favorite part of the writing process is the first draft, which she always writes by hand.
