A/V Special: the author of the bestselling literary/mystery novel, Happiness Falls, dishes on navigating expectations, DNF readers, and tools she uses to write her complicated, character-rich plots
I LOVE a Trojan Horse thriller! What a great name for it! I think they're the best (and Kim is one of the greatest at it!) when books can bridge the gap between several genres and manage to pull out surprises when you aren't expecting them, especially when they're more quiet and not a jump scare like a traditional thriller.
I’m so excited to check out this interview! Happiness. Falls is in my TBR pile and was an instant-buy for me. I loved Miracle Creek so much!
P.S. I think slow-burn suspense is my preferred genre, now that I see how you’ve broken it down. Birnam Wood and I Have Some Questions For You were two of my favorite reads this year! Both were 5 star books for me. I need a crowdsourced list of other slow-burn suspense!
I would just like to update interested parties that I am over half-way through this book but it keeps making me SO G-D EMOTIONAL that I have to stop reading so I can calm down for bedtime hahahaha
This interview had so many gems in it I kind of wish I’d taken notes...the concept of outlining as you draft and the road trip with the gps check-ins feel like a game changer to me!!
