Welcome to Kelly's Writerly Q&A, a monthly blog series that is now a podcast!

Listen to my 17th episode where I chat to Shaeden Berry, thriller author of At Cafe 64. This book will appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult.

We discuss:

• Whether Shaeden is a planner or a panster
• Why Shaeden is drawn to highlighting certain characters
• How Shaeden cut this novel down from 120k to 90k
• Why Shaeden forces herself to write every Sat and Sun
• The songs that inspired Shaeden's POV characters
• Timers and how great they are for writers
• Writing rituals

Thank you for listening!
