Author Interview: Sasha Preston, Novelty Turns Ordinary Lives Into Adventures
A rule follower joins a heist, discovers her nerve, and reminds us why novelty can make life feel bigger. We sit down with author Sasha Preston to unpack The Sweetest Getaway, a witty, food-sprinkled caper where friendship, entrepreneurship, and courage take center stage. Jennifer, a cautious comic artist with big dreams, and Nari, a fearless hustler with flexible ethics, team up against a corporate villain and learn that risk can be a bridge to growth. It’s sharp, funny, and full of heart.
We go behind the scenes of Sasha’s creative process—how weekly short-story swaps rekindled her writing habit, how she drafted on walks and lunch breaks, and why she now blends a loose outline with room for surprise. She shares the invaluable role of beta readers and editors, the sting and payoff of honest feedback, and the craft choices that turn a playful caper into a page-turner. For readers and writers alike, you’ll hear practical strategies for building momentum, shaping character arcs, and sustaining voice across a series without losing spontaneity.
Food weaves through the book as a love language—Thai dinners, mango mocktails, and cookies that taste like freedom—inviting cross-cultural connection and presence in a screen-heavy world. We talk about friendship as fuel, women’s entrepreneurship as a throughline, and small, repeatable adventures that slow time and spark joy. Expect a smart heist rec for your TBR, a silky tofu smoothie you’ll actually make, and a sneak peek at an upcoming international caper that raises the stakes without losing the humor.
If you’re craving a fun, fast read with thoughtful themes—female friendship, cozy crime, culinary fiction, rom-com energy—this one’s for you. Grab The Sweetest Getaway on Amazon, snag the free first chapter at sashapreston.com/newsletter, and stick around for the bonus chapter info. Loved the conversation? Follow, rate, and share the show with a friend who’d join your dream caper crew.
