144: Melissa Koslin

Welcome back to Book Talk, everyone. In today's episode, I'm delighted to introduce you to Melissa Koslin, who writes some really great romantic suspense. Her next novel, The Lost Library, started with the hero/aka the Beast, and she built the story from him. I love how for each author and each story, the genesis of the story can be so very different. After focusing on the beast, she looked for a historical mystery to build suspense around. I don't want to give too much away, but you'll love learning more about Melissa's writing and her process. She's at at stage in life where she gets to write in short bursts and make the best of the moments she has. Because of it, Melissa is a plotter with flexibility. She gets joy in creating the background stories and interplay between characters, and it comes out in the writing. Connect with Melissa Koslin Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest
