I LOVED this interview! Thank you for exposing me to Andrea, and for asking my question. When Andi said she "self-selects" what she reads, and therefore avoids reading things that (as a friend of mine says) do not constitute "good mental hygiene"--that makes so much sense. And this tendency to gravitate towards literary writing in thrillers (great character development, etc.) is likely why she and I are both big fans of Tana French. Thanks again to you both! D

I know I say this every time I listen to one of your podcasts, but this is my favorite one! 😂 💕 I love that she is also a thriller writer, like me. I have been struggling a bit to find more of them here on Substack. I appreciated Andrea’s thoughts on how the readers may influence the next writing project. This is something I’ve been wondering about for myself, so very helpful.

Thanks, Mica! I loved that question from Evelyn, because it can feel like something we're not "supposed" to talk about. Best wishes with your own writing!

As I was listening, I thought Andrea Bartz said she wrote a book called "The Last Fairy Out" and I thought, wow, what a great title! 😂
