In this episode, I chatted with author Brianna about her journey from journalism to writing psychological thrillers and historical fiction. This spring, Brianna will have two books out: The Librarian of Burned Books* (Historical Fiction) and See It End* (Psychological Thriller, Book 3 in the Dr. Gretchen White series) We discussed the importance of research in both genres and how her background in journalism has helped her transition into fiction writing. We also touched on the timely topic of book banning and censorship, drawing parallels between the 1930s and today, and the power of controlling information. We then dived into discussing our favorite books in the Game Changers series by Rachel Reid*, a male/male hockey romance collection with comforting aspects and deeper issues such as anxiety, mental health, and redemption. We also recommended other books, including The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell(, The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson*, and The Lost English Girl by Julia Kelly*.
