Bookshop Interview with Author Megan Kinney (Episode #060)

2/19/2020

0 Comments

 
In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Megan Kinney discusses her debut novel, Dakota Peace. It is the story of a 911 dispatcher struggling with burnout who meets a South Dakota state trooper searching for a kidnapped foster child. In writing this debut novel, Megan drew upon her own experiences as both a foster parent and a law enforcement wife. Megan was inspired to write this novel by a real-life incident that occurred in her hometown. Megan attended the funeral for two police officers killed in the line of duty. At their funeral, a recording of their “last call” was played, the last call made by a 911 dispatcher to the fallen officers. It was an experience that deeply affected Megan, and in it she found the spark for her book, Dakota Peace. Tune in to hear Megan discuss her writing journey, what she learned when she took a citizens dispatch course and spent several hours in the emergency dispatch center, and how writing this story gave her closure for the real life tragedy that hit so close to home.
