This week we are pleased as punch to welcome debut author Kat Stoddard to the show. Kat shares about her childhood as a library kid and how Pride & Prejudice taught her what a great novel could be. We talk about a shared love for messy family dramas, Wasp's Nest being inspired by The Philadelphia story, Cape Cod as the predestined setting, why writing three points of view was a wild choice for a debut, what attracts Kat to telling stories about artists, casting the voice actors for the audiobook, and the possibility of a film adaptation in the future. To check out Kat's favorite books from growing up, as well as what she's loving right now, join us on Instagram @plansarebooked. You can also write to us at [email protected].
