Tana French finished her last book in February 2020

As we discussed, this was a brilliant stroke of luck, finishing right before everything turned upside down. However, this isn't the first time she's written through challenging times. Her challenge has also been dealing with the darker aspects of human nature through each of her novels, so we got down to specifics about how she writes dark stories without getting dragged down.

Character is a central part of her process, so those thinking about character development at the moment will want to put this episode at the top of their queue. She's an absolute delight, and I can't wait for you to hear this episode. Enjoy!
