We’re thrilled to bring you a conversation with an award-winning author whose books are known for their mind-bending twists, intense suspense, and binge-worthy plots. This week, we’re joined by Marissa Vanskike, the brilliant author behind How It Had To Be and Bronswood—two novels that have been praised for their exploration of complex family dynamics and the deep, often painful sacrifices that come with them.
Marissa’s novels have reached readers in over seven countries, and her knack for crafting shocking endings and heart-pounding suspense has earned her a loyal following. But that’s not all—Marissa is gearing up to release her highly anticipated new novel, The Turn, and today she’s here to give us a sneak peek of what’s in store!
In this episode, we dive deep into Marissa’s writing process, explore the themes of family and sacrifice that permeate her work, and talk about what we can expect from her latest novel!
