About this listen

Imposter Hour is back. This week, in our first episode after the summer hiatus, Liz and Greg sit down with internationally bestselling thriller author Samantha Downing. We dig into her new novel, Too Old for This, starring Lottie Jones, a 75-year-old retired serial killer who refuses to go quietly, and we revisit the breakout that started it all, My Lovely Wife. The conversation hits craft, voice, and the business side of branding, then gets real about imposter syndrome in publishing. How success does and does not quiet the doubt, what still triggers it, and the habits that keep the words coming. If you love darkly funny crime and honest talk about the writing life, this week’s episode is your perfect reentry.
