128: Jaime Jo Wright Book Talk with Cara Putman

Jaime Jo Wright is no stranger to Book Talk or to award-winning fiction, so it is delightful to have her back for a conversation about her latest novel Night Falls on Predicament Avenue. We talk about everything from how she comes up with her spooky ideas. I love how she pulls ideas from newspaper stories and so much more. We also talked about whether the contemporary or historical thread tries to take over when she's writing her split-time novels.

This was one of her most difficult books to write for many reasons. One was the challenge of connecting the internal and external journeys of the characters. As she talks about the process, she'd tell her younger writing self to not get caught up in the mechanics of writing. And unpopular opinion: Jaime watches TV or she stops being productive. Let that give you the freedom to do what works for you.

You'll love this interview and getting to know Jaime in a new way.
