Each week host Honora Quinn virtually sits down with your new favorite author from self-published to the NYTs bestselling to ask the important questions, like what type of plate they are.

How A Research Trip Became the Basis for A 'Killer' Story - Still See You Everywhere by Lisa Gardner
Today on OTS I got to speak with the one and only Lisa Gardner about her newest novel STILL SEE YOU EVERYWHERE. While being the 3rd book in the FRANKIE ELKIN series you can dive right into this book (and this interview) with little information. In this installment Frankie is at her most conflicted, she is sent out looking for a missing girl but the one sending her on this job is a serial killer with three weeks left to live.

Tracy and I spoke just over a year ago about THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL STATEMENT, a surprisingly stressful novel about faking your way into college, and she is back again with another stressful tale. Enter WE'RE NEVER GETTING HOME, a story about getting stranded at a music festival on the brink of friendship collapse...
