We're so pleased to welcome Bea Northwick to the show! Bea is the author of the award-winning twisty gothic romance THE CRUEL DARK and its companion novella LOVER, and today is the release of her sophomore novel BLACKWICKET.
In this interview, Bea opens up and shares her inspiration for the nuanced magic system in her latest novel (the FMC, Eleanora Blackwicket, is a curse-eater returning home to bury her older sister with an inspector Victor Harrow hot on her trail).
Bea also shares her methodical approach to writing, how she overcomes writer's block, and teases what might be coming for readers in 2026.
Learn more about Bea and get merch and signed copies of her books at: https://www.northwickbooks.com/
Blackwicket, The Cruel Dark, and Lover are also available on Kindle Unlimited.
