Welcome to today’s episode of Bookish Flights! This is a special one—our first BFF Book Club Meeting! The BFF Book Club is a monthly literary adventure where you read the book, join the club, and meet the author. I am thrilled to have Janyre Tromp on the show today to discuss her evocative novel, Darkness Calls the Tiger.
Janyre is the award-winning and best-selling writer and veteran editor with a deep love for history. Her mid-20th century historical novels always simmer with a healthy pinch of deliciously creepy suspense and include Darkness Calls the Tiger, Shadows in the Mind’s Eye and O Little Town. Happy listening!

Eli Gardner is an award-winning author of 7 books. She is a military veteran with over a dozen deployments to the Middle East. The time spent overseas and the beauty she finds in misunderstood places and topics, inspires much of her writing. She writes in the genres of historical fiction, fairytale retellings, cozy magical realism, comedy and poetry. She has a budding horse rescue, with 7 saved in the last 2 years from kill pens and names all the horses after authors. Book profits fund rescue operations as well as 25% being donated to a rotating list of mostly veteran-related 501c3s.

In today’s episode, I am chatting with Gill Paul. Gill is the bestselling author of twelve historical novels, many of them about real women from the past whom she thinks have been marginalized or misjudged by historians. Gill was born in Scotland and grew up there, apart from an eventful year at school in the US when she was ten. She studied Medicine at Glasgow University, then English Literature and History (she was a student for a long time), before moving to London to work in publishing. Her first novel was written at weekends, but she has now given up the ‘day job’ to write fiction full-time. Gill swims daily, year-round in a wild pond and loves vintage clothes, old movies, and poking around in bookshops. Her latest novel, Scandalous Women, released yesterday, congrats Gill!
