I Know How This Book Ends

After a 5 year hiatus, novelist Cathy Lamb is back with a new, self-published novel, inspired by her own childhood, with a cast of characters that are both inspired and imagined. Find out what she is learning about a return to art on her own terms in this no holds barred episode!

Maddie Dawson is the pen name of Sandi Shelton (just wait until you hear WHY she picked this name!) who is the author of the newest Amazon First Reads Pick, LET'S PRETEND THIS WILL WORK. With its true life inspiration, quirky characters, and thought-provoking premise, this new novel will take you on a ride you won't expect. Don't miss this conversation!

Last time we talked to Tricia Blanchet, writing as TM Blanchet, she had just released her debut novel in 2022. Now, TM Blanchet has just finished the HEATH TRILOGY with the newly released Herrick's Key and what an ending! We talk about how the original ending of The Trilogy changed and Tricia makes a confession about which was the hardest book to write in the Trilogy and why. 

We also catch up on the highly acclaimed THE MIGHTY BLAZE podcast (which Tricia produces) and the latest news on her non-profit, OPERATION DELTA DOG!

When IKHTBE Host/Creator Amy Impellizzeri received an advance copy of a book from an unknown author, Catherine Mack, she dove right in and was anxious to meet the author. Turns out she already did! Catherine McKenzie, Canadian lawyer turned bestselling author of 20 novels (largely psychological suspense) surprised everyone by revealing that she was the author behind the pen name of a brand new book in a brand new genre that is now optioned as a series by FOX and set to take the publishing industry by storm. Don't miss this conversation with Catherine as we talk about the inspiration for the story, and what's next for these characters.

Nicole Moleti and Krista Wells, who together write as Addison McKnight sit down with I KNOW HOW THIS BOOK ENDS to talk about what it's REALLY like when 2 friends write a book a together (hint: it's not easy!) and why they went from writing about women's issues in the non-fiction world separately to writing novels together. There's a sneak peek about what's next for this dynamic duo as well! 

In this revealing episode, former live sports reporter, Elise Hart Kipness, reveals how the heroes (and villains!) from her days as a female sports journalist helped fuel the story for her debut novel, LIGHTS OUT. Elise takes us inside the locker rooms of some of the biggest NBA, Tennis and Golf icons (looking at you, Venus Williams!) and gives the real scoop about how she got to the last page of this thrilling whodunnit!
