Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Sarah Penner, New York Times Bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary, which has sold over 1 1/2 million copies. Her latest novel, The Amalfi Curse, is out now.
Today, we talk about:
the books that influenced young Sarah as a reader, and later, as a writer,
behind-the-scenes of Collector's Editions—how an author finds out about special endpapers and sprayed edges on their books,
how she manages to write and weave together dual timelines,
the importance of big "hooks" for her stories,
the unknown book about the Cotswalds that she wrote during the pandemic that never got published,
her dream book club menu,
and so much more.
