Kristen Ness, AT LOGGERHEADS

Kristen Ness joins Zibby to discuss her captivating and clever new novel, AT LOGGERHEADS. Kristen shares her lifelong passion for marine biology and how a sea turtle sighting inspired this book, which took a decade to write. She also delves into her novel's themes (from family dynamics to political intrigue), her literary influences (@maryalicemonoe and @patconroyliterarycenter), and her current work on a suspense novel involving puffer fish toxins. Ultimately, she encourages aspiring writers to keep going and to draw inspiration from their favorite books.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3G2zjVHShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
