About this listen

My guest today is New York Times bestselling author Clare Leslie Hall. Her novel, Broken Country, was also a Reese's Book Club pick earlier this year.

Today, we talk about:

* what stories draw Clare's attention,

* the importance of backlist and how those books can come back to surprise you

* pen names and their purpose in publishing,

* how she harnesses ideas once they appear,

* blending genres: romantic suspense, courtroom drama, and domestic noir

* writing class tension without slipping into cliche,

* the storytelling advice that completely changed the way she thinks about research and writing,

* and so much more.
