- Marginalia: Lydia FitzpatrickIn her new novel, Lydia Fitzpatrick tells the story of two teenage brothers--Ilya and Vladimir--who live together in Russia. While the boys have always dreamed of escape from their life in Russia, it’s only Ilya who gets to come to the United States in an exchange student program. Ilya exchanges one refinery town in Russia for another in Louisiana, and although his body has escaped the physical location, family drama will not release his heart, mind or soul. I recently spoke with Lydia17 min

- Marginalia: Aaron BrownBorn in Texas and raised in Chad, Aaron Brown now lives in Kansas where he is an Assistant Professor of Writing & Editing at Sterling College.

- Marginalia: Greg IlesReaders familiar with Greg Iles know that although he writes mysteries and thrillers, they’re anything but formulaic. Rich with detail, Iles' books maintain quality while straddling commercial and literary fiction for hundreds and hundreds of pages.16 min

- Marginalia: Nickolas ButlerNickolas Butler has penned a novel of extremes. Little Faith is simple, yet complex; an extraordinary look at the ordinary; an exploration of the ways in which belief is formed and shaken. And quite difficult to describe. But that didn’t stop us from trying. I recently spoke with Butler as he was gearing up for the publication of Little Faith and the book tour. Here’s our conversation: - Little Faith by Nickolas Butler is published by Ecco Books, a division of HarperCollins. Little Faith will be13 min

- Marginalia: Ariel LawhonAriel Lawhon likes a good puzzle. She likes a mystery that she can research and research and research, and then artistically retell the story to readers. Her first book explored the unsolved mystery of a justice who disappeared in New York in the 1930s. Her second book explored the conspiracy surrounding the Hindenburg disaster. And now her third book explores the life of Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, and the woman who, years later, claimed to be her. I recently spoke with Lawhon just16 min
- Marginalia: David TreuerIn the prologue of his book, The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present , author David Treuer writes, “This book is a counter-narrative to the story that has been told about us, but it is something more as well: it is an attempt to confront the ways we Indians ourselves understand our place in the world.” I recently spoke with Treuer via Skype about this counter-narrative and so much more. Here's our conversation:25 min
- Marginalia: Beth Ferry & Tom LichtenheldI would wager that for most of us, the only time we think about children's picture books is when we’re begged to read “just one more story.” But have you ever thought about what goes into creating a picture book? How do authors and illustrators come together? What is the secret to creating images and stories that keep children enchanted and their adult readers charmed? I had a chance to discover a little more about the industry from the perspective of an author and an illustrator. Beth Ferry is19 min
