Naomi Hirahara

Naomi Hirahara joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest mystery, EVERGREEN. The story once again features Aki Ito, who readers met in CLARK AND DIVISION. Aki has now moved back to Los Angeles from Chicago where her family was displaced during World War II. Naomi talks about her research for this book, some of which was drawn from relatives, as well as her work over the past decades. She explains how EVERGREEN works well as a stand-alone novel and what brought her and the publisher to call these books Japantown mysteries. Carol shares how they give an insightful look into this time as historical fiction, as well as a mystery.

Naomi Hirahara: Evergreen

Liz Nugent

Sally Diamond

Liz Nugent joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her new thriller, STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Liz reminds Carol that they spoke in 2017 about her debut, UNRAVELING OLIVER; it was her first interview. She explains how she developed the character of Sally. Carol was astonished to learn that this latest novel was not plotted, but rather written stream-of-consciousness. Liz also talks about letters that were shared with Sally and why they were woven into the story. She notes that while there are a lot of dark things insinuated in the book, they are not written on the page. Those visuals are manifested in the readers’ minds.

Liz Nugent: Strange Sally Diamond

Asha Youmans

Alli Frank

Alli Frank and Asha Youmans make a return visit to “Bookreporter Talks To” to share their thoughts on their latest book, THE BETTER HALF — a Bookreporter Bets On selection — with Carol Fitzgerald. They talk about what they brought to their protagonist, Nina Morgan Clarke, who is the first Black female head of the very tony Royal-Hawkins School. Nina quickly learns that, along with being in charge of student life, she must manage a board and lots of parental expectations.   Alli shares that she knew this would not be a job for her, though she had thought she did want that role in her past life as an educator. Asha comes from a mixed marriage and points out that she had her sons turn to her father and brother about living as young Black men in America today. Both are clearly loving the second half of their lives! This was the first book that they wrote in different places, as opposed to being in the same room, and they explain how they were able to do that so well (though when together they do have their writing pajamas). The humor that they write also lives off the page, making this another fun conversation!

Alli Frank and Asha Youmans: The Better Half

Carolyn Mackler

Carolyn Mackler joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her first book for adults, THE WIFE APP. Carol was a huge fan of Carolyn’s YA novels, including THE EARTH, MY BUTT, AND OTHER BIG ROUND THINGS; TANGLED; GUYAHOLIC; VEGAN VIRGIN VALENTINE; and LOVE AND OTHER FOUR-LETTER WORDS. Carolyn got the idea for this book talking to her mom friends about the kind of work that typically is handled by women in the family — filling out school forms, arguing with the insurance company, and so much more. In THE WIFE APP, three divorced women join forces to create an app where tasks like these are work-for-hire. Carolyn gives readers a glimpse into her very different characters and how they embrace challenges. She also talks about what’s next for her.

Carolyn Mackler: The Wife App

Adrienne Brodeur

Adrienne Brodeur joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her novel, LITTLE MONSTERS, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. They talk characters — and each shares her favorite — as well as the story’s structure with multiple points of view. Adrienne has spent summers on the Cape for as long as she can remember, and her writing so beautifully about the place gives a clear picture of how much she loves it — and treasures time there. After writing her memoir, WILD GAME, where her mother was a central character, Adrienne noted that the mother is absent in her novel. They talk about a particular scene that has not come up in an interview before. And yes, they discuss the title — and the cover design. Oh, and why does one ask for female lobsters when buying them?

Adrienne Brodeur joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her novel, LITTLE MONSTERS, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. They talk characters — and each shares her favorite — as well as the story’s structure with multiple points of view. Adrienne has spent summers on the Cape for as long as she can remember, and her writing so beautifully about the place gives a clear picture of how much she loves it — and treasures time there. After writing her memoir, WILD GAME, where her mother was a central character, Adrienne noted that the mother is absent in her novel. They talk about a particular scene that has not come up in an interview before. And yes, they discuss the title — and the cover design. Oh, and why does one ask for female lobsters when buying them? It’s a brisk conversation that covers a lot of ground but gives away no spoilers.

Adrienne Brodeur: Little Monsters

Lisa See joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her new novel, LADY TAN’S CIRCLE OF WOMEN, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Lisa explains how she got the idea for this book, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China, which was different from the one she planned to write. She later discovered that Tan Yunxian had written a book, and it had been translated into English. From there, she headed down a rabbit hole of research to ensure that her storytelling was on point. Lisa shares why she writes in the first person and how she strives to get every detail right. She also talks about how women have been viewed in China through the centuries and speaks in-depth about the marriage bed that is in the book, one that she played in as a child in the family store. And for those who want to know what she is writing next, be sure to listen to the end.

Lisa See: Lady Tan's Circle of Women

Nancy Horan

Nancy Horan joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest work of historical fiction, THE HOUSE OF LINCOLN. Nancy was born in Springfield, Illinois, and always was intrigued by Lincoln and his legacy there. In 2014, she started her research on Lincoln and what the city might have been like during his time. The resulting book is told through the eyes of a fictitious character named Ana Ferreira, who works for the Lincolns.  Ana emigrated from Madeira, Portugal, to Springfield by way of Trinidad, which would be a typical journey for a young woman of her time. She befriends a young African American woman named Cal. Through Cal’s eyes, she sees the Underground Railroad as it heads through Springfield, where slaves are shepherded to freedom. Spanning decades from 1851 to 1909, the book tells the story of great change in the country. THE HOUSE OF LINCOLN, like Nancy’s debut novel, LOVING FRANK, is a Bookreporter Bets On selection.

Nancy Horan: The House of Lincoln

Laura Dave

Laura Dave joined us for a "Bookaccino Live" Book Group event to discuss her New York Times bestselling novel, THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME. Laura had the idea for this book for a while, and she wrote it from different perspectives before finding the first-person story told by Hannah that we read. She talks about how she needs time to settle in with her characters and her plot, and then turns to what serves the book most. She also shares some of the research that she did about houseboat life, as well as the scenes set in Texas. And, to the delight of our readers, she previews what’s next.

Linwood Barclay: The Lie Maker

Alice Elliott

Alice Elliott Dark talks to Carol Fitzgerald about the writing of her book, FELLOWSHIP POINT, which took 20 years to complete. It was one of Carol’s favorite books of 2022, and she read it more slowly than usual, enjoying both the story and the brilliant use of language. Alice shares how the characters evolved and how one had a central role until she saw the story was headed in a different direction. The development of the friendship between Agnes and Polly was one that felt very natural to her, with its ebbs and flows. And the secrets that they kept from each other only enhanced them as characters. The plot has at its core a piece of land that has been held by family members for centuries, and what should happen to it as this generation passes. Agnes wants it to be held by a land trust, but can that prevail? Alice also talked about her current project, where she is picking up with the characters who readers came to know in her story, “In the Gloaming,” which first appeared in The New Yorker in 1993. It inspired two memorable film adaptations. The discussion was brisk, and from it listeners will come to see why Alice is so beloved --- and why we want the next book in less than 20 years.

Alice Elliott Dark: Fellowship Point

“Bookreporter Talks To” is a podcast from The Book Report Network where we host in-depth conversations with authors about the books that we love. We know authors cannot travel everywhere, so we want to bring them to you, wherever YOU may be.

Kate Morton

Kate Morton joined Carol Fitzgerald from Australia to talk about her latest New York Times bestseller, HOMECOMING, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. During the early days of the pandemic, Kate headed to Australia with her family for what was to be an Easter visit. As they realized that their time there was going to be longer than planned, Kate put aside a manuscript that she was working on. Inspired by the Australian landscape and the idea of her own homecoming, she began this book. In this interview, Kate shares how the story evolved. Beautiful homes, places and landscapes draw her eye (as witnessed on her Instagram page). From there, the characters and plot take shape. There is also a book within the book here --- a true crime book that sparks the characters to learn more. Carol forgot to ask Kate if she wrote this true crime story first, so Carol circled back to her in email. She replied: “I made notes for Daniel Miller’s book in its entirety and knew from the start that it would have two basic parts: the Turner family’s activities on the last day of their lives, and the investigation afterwards. In concept, I thought the second part would be longer than it was. But as I progressed, I realized that I didn’t need to show the investigation via Daniel Miller, because Jess’ research provided so much of the necessary information. I wrote the first part, covering the Turner family’s final day, in one fell swoop; the rest I wrote as it appears in the book.” Carol and Kate cover a lot of ground in their conversation. HOMECOMING is worth the five-year wait since Kate’s last book, THE CLOCKMAKER’S DAUGHTER.

Kate Morton: Homecoming

Kristin Hannah

Kristin Hannah joined Carol Fitzgerald for a “Bookaccino Live” Book Group discussion of her novel, THE FOUR WINDS. Kristin shared her research process, which consists of a year of reading everything she can get her hands on about her chosen topic --- including memoirs --- to give her insight into the time period. She talked about discovering that Elsa was her protagonist, not her daughter Loreda, and how that meant abandoning hundreds of pages of writing. And she revealed the very interesting way that she came up with the title of the book. Readers chimed in on and off camera with terrific questions that made for a robust discussion.

"Bookaccino Live" Book Group: Kristin Hannah

Susan Patterson

Susan DiLallo

Susan Patterson and Susan DiLallo join Carol Fitzgerald to talk about their novel, THINGS I WISH I TOLD MY MOTHER. Both of them enjoyed life with their mothers, who lived well into their 90s. So they decided to write a fictional title about a mother and daughter duo. In the book, Laurie works in advertising and loves new experiences. Her mom is the famous “Dr. Liz,” an elegant perfectionist who is renowned and receives great praise wherever she goes. They embark on a trip to Paris and Norway (the latter is where Liz grew up). The Susans explained where the idea came from, how they worked together, and what they infused from their own adventure in Norway into the story. A number of Bookreporter readers read an advance copy of the book, and many of their comments (they loved it) are shared throughout the conversation, making it a tad different from other interviews that we have done.

Susan Patterson and Susan DiLallo: Things I Told My Mother

Rachel Beanland

Rachel Beanland, who we interviewed previously about FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER, is back to talk to Carol Fitzgerald about THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE, her latest work of historical fiction. This novel reimagines what happened in the Richmond Theater Fire of 1811 through the eyes of four characters. This lively conversation includes Rachel sharing why she selected these people to represent the story and her feelings about each of them. She also explains how this story came to her --- and how she headed down the rabbit hole to research it. The pandemic precluded her writing another book, which would have required more research, so she was lucky to have this story to explore near her Richmond home. The back of the book includes some of her reference material for further reading. This would be perfect for a book group discussion.

Rachel Beanland: The House is On Fire

Allison Pataki

Allison Pataki joined Carol Fitzgerald for a "Bookaccino Live" Book Group discussion about her novel, THE MAGNIFICENT LIVES OF MARJORIE POST. Allison talked about what drew her to write about Marjorie Merriweather Post and how she decided which aspects of Marjorie’s life to share. She also explained how her work as an on-air journalist helped her as she was both researching and discussing the book. The conversation was brisk and fun, with great audience questions, and included what is next for Allison: AMERICAN MUSE, a novel that centers on the life of Margaret Fuller, whose circle included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne (who based Hester Prynne on her), Louisa May Alcott and Edgar Allan Poe.

Lisa Scottoline

Lisa Scottoline talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her second work of historical fiction, LOYALTY. They cover a lot of ground, talking about the trip to Sicily that inspired the characters and the settings. Before heading there, Lisa had done a lot of research about Italy and the rise of the Mafia, but her travels gave her the opportunity to situate her characters and bring them to the page for readers. They also discuss the book’s structure and why it was done that way. Edoardo Ballerini narrates the audiobook, and Lisa explains why she feels he is so right for this book. Plus, she shares what the novel’s original title was and why it changed. Lisa has an interactive map, videos and commentary on her website, Scottoline.com, to enhance the reading experience and truly immerse readers in the book.

Lisa Scottoline: Loyalty

Sadeqa Johnson

Sadeqa Johnson joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about THE HOUSE OF EVE, her second work of historical fiction. She explains that the inspiration for the book came from her family history. She also discusses character development and which character came to her first. Unlike her previous novel, YELLOW WIFE, she had lots of contemporary history to delve into as she was conducting her research, including foods, rituals and, yes, fashion. And then there was the statistic that between 1945 and 1973, 1.5 million women in the United States lost children to forced adoption, and what that might mean.

Sadeqa Johnson: The House of Eve

William Landay

William Landay talks to Carol Fitzgerald about ALL THAT IS MINE I CARRY WITH ME, his first book in 11 years following his bestseller, DEFENDING JACOB. They discuss the structure of the novel, which is told in four parts, and why he chose this method of storytelling. They also delve into crime writing and what has happened to this genre both in books and on the screen. And yes, they talk about the limited series adaptation of DEFENDING JACOB on Apple TV+, which was so well done.

William Landay: All That Is Mine I Carry With Me

Fiona Davis

Fiona Davis joined Carol Fitzgerald for a "Bookaccino Live" Book Group discussion about her novel, THE MAGNOLIA PALACE. Fiona talked about her inspiration to set the book at the Frick Museum. She shared some terrific photos that gave readers background on her characters and research process. She also discussed her other work, including what has drawn her to select particular buildings to feature, and the expert she speaks with before she begins a project, who she consults with along the way. She also explained how her acting career has inspired her writing. The conversation was lively and included what is next for Fiona, THE SPECTACULAR, which takes place at Radio City Music Hall.

Bookaccino Book Club: Fiona Davis

Shelley Read joins Carol Fitzgerald for a deep-dive conversation about her highly anticipated debut novel, GO AS A RIVER, and the history behind it. Carol has spent a lot of time in the Gunnison Valley of Colorado that Shelley writes about, so this book felt very personal to her. Shelley, a fifth-generation Coloradan, shares the background on how she came to write the novel --- and why it took until she was in her 50s to finish it. They also talk about Shelley’s love of the outdoors and how that found its way into so much of her prose. GO AS A RIVER is a Bookreporter Bets On selection and would be perfect for book group discussions.
