PODCAST and YOUTUBE INTERVIEW with Caroline Bock and UPSTART CROW

I did a fascinating podcast – UPSTART CROW – with Professor Bill Miller from George Mason University on my new novel THE OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE… where he compared stories that I wrote in my 2018 short story collection, CARRY HER HOME, about Morris and Louise (my parents) and how they first met in Manhattan, with characters from my new novel also named Morris and Louise. It was an amazingly insightful piece of literary sleuthing.

Plus, insights into my unusual writing process and even more unusual publishing journey with THE OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

There’s so much more here in this probing interview!

The best part: Professor Miller calling THE OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE filled with vivacity and a delight! LISTEN!

Here it is on Spotify!
