Danielle Girard sits down with bestselling author Lauren Myracle to talk about her bold leap from children's and YA books to her deliciously dark first adult thriller, Plays Well With Others.

Lauren opens up about:

• The not-so-sweet reality of children’s and YA fiction
• Pros and cons of authors "branding" themselves into one genre
• And how embracing creative freedom led her to write a thriller filled with revenge, betrayal, and the dark side of neighborhood charm
Set on picture-perfect Sweetwater Lane, Plays Well With Others is a twisty, character-driven page-turner about grudges gone wild, toxic friendships, and what happens when good girls stop playing nice.

Whether you're a longtime Lauren Myracle fan or discovering her darker side for the first time, this episode is full of laughs, honesty, and literary rebellion.

Lauren Myracle is an icon of children’s literature, the New York Times bestselling author of many books for young readers, including the Winnie Years series, the Flower Power Series, and the Life of Ty series. She grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and earned a BA in English and Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She later earned an MA in English from Colorado State University, where she taught for two years. Plays Well With Others is her debut novel for adults.
