On today’s Complicated Conversation we welcome Greg Wands and Elizabeth McCullough Keenan to discuss Trust Issues, which is a fresh take on the classic conman chase novel following two adult siblings forced to play nice in hopes of tracking down the man they believe killed their mother and ran off with their sizable inheritance.

We chat with Liz and Greg about why they love a classic conman story; the complexities of character development, particularly focusing on unreliable narrators and sibling relationships; their collaborative writing process; and personal anecdotes about synchronicity in their writing process … sometimes real-life events often mirror their fictional stories! We also discuss the challenges of imposter syndrome faced by writers, leading to the creation of their podcast that aims to address these common feelings. Check them out on Imposter Hour with Liz and Greg wherever you get your podcasts.
