Brian's guest this week is novelist Helene Wecker. Helene is author of the best-selling and award-winning book, the Golem and the Jinni and its recent follow up, The Hidden Palace. Helene and Brian are also debut buddies—their first books came out the same month in April of 2013.

Helene and Brian talk about writing classes and pursuing higher education for creative writing, the despair when a book just isn’t clicking, the loneliness of being a writer, and the way life can get in the way of a creative job. Enjoy his conversation with Helene Wecker!

Find Helene on Twitter or grab her latest book from Amazon or your favorite bookstore.
