In this final part of my interview with Antonia Angress, author of "Sirens & Muses," we peek at what’s coming around the bend for her and I get her answers to my fast five questions.

We talked about:

- The novels about motherhood Antonia is reading to prepare for when her baby is born

- The pressure on young women authors to be likable, available, and approachable

- The two writers Antonia looks to for inspiration on being successful while “resisting the machinations of publicity that can devour you”

- Getting better at not squandering time, vacuuming the rugs

- The Pulitzer finalist Antonia devoured in a couple of days

- What it’s like when your husband becomes a Swiftie in his 30s, when you’ve been on board since your teens
