The Writing Corner with Authors' Alcove Agnes Wolfe

In this episode of Authors' Alcove, Agnes Wolfe interviews Boo Trundle, author of "The Daughter Ship," a unique novel addressing ancestral healing and inner child work. Boo discusses her multifaceted career as a writer, artist, and performer, and her journey to publishing her debut novel at the age of 56. She explains how the protagonist, Catherine, is influenced by her subconscious and superconscious, represented by her inner child and the character Dead Girl. Boo delves into the themes of sexual abuse within the family and the authenticity of her writing, describing the novel's non-traditional, vertical narrative structure. She advises aspiring authors to engage with other writers through events and workshops to build relationships crucial for publishing success. The episode concludes with thanks to the listeners and mentions of other segments of Authors' Alcove.

This Women’s Literature author interview with Jane L. Rosen was special because she wrote my mom’s favorite read of 2023, On Fire Island. Jane L. Rosen, a contributor to the New York Times, Huffington Post, Redbook, and Tablet, splits her time between NYC and Fire Island with her husband and three daughters. Her debut novel, Nine Women, One Dress, was so successful it was translated into ten languages. Her second novel, Eliza Starts a Rumor, has been optioned by NBC. Her most recent book, On Fire Island, is a favorite of my mom's for 2023. She also has another beach read coming out in June 2024, Seven Summer Weekends.
