Hey there word nerds!
Today I am delighted to have award-winning author Joan Dempsey on the show! \\xa0
Joan\\u2019s writing has been published in numerous places including The Adirondack Review and \\xa0Alligator Juniper, and she is the author of This is How it Begins.
For this fascinating novel, that is a mix of literary fiction and mystery, she received a significant research grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation which took her to Warsaw for a month (no, she doesn\'t speak Polish), and to Washington, D.C. for ten days, to study in the archives at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Listen in as we discuss the multiple layers of This is How is Begins, and get some of Joan\\u2019s best writing techniques for juggling plot and characters.
