I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, but THE Mary Lawson – Canadian author of Crow LakeThe Other Side of the BridgeRoad Ends, and A Town Called Solace – joins us in this episode to talk through her work. We discuss how she approaches writing a novel, some of her creative decisions, and a little hint about her next book.
