Sarah Lengler discusses with Mike Chmielewski the process of writing and publishing her first novel, Twin Pines.

Mike asked Sarah what she had learned from writing her first book. Sarah says that she never knew how bad her grammar was. She notices everything around her, whether on walks or as she watches TV, and often identifies small details in the scene that she recognizes as important.

Twin Pines crosses numerous genres, including speculative fiction and sci-fi. The leading character, Shea Murphy, is haunted by her inability to remember a past just out of reach. Shea must trust a stranger and try to remember before the truth finds her and destroys her. What was Twin Pines supposed to be? Why is remembering potentially more dangerous than forgetting?
