On this episode of Debut Discussions we\u2019re chatting with Sarah Crouch about her debut novel, Middletide, a gripping and intensely atmospheric literary thriller about the suspicious death of a beautiful young doctor in a small town and the prime suspect, a reclusive young man who abandoned the community in chase of big city dreams but returned for the first love he left behind.\nSarah shares the challenges of her path to publication and how she and Carinn have personally bonded over it; writing flawed and complex characters; the importance of accurate representation of indigenous culture in fiction; the meta book within a book concept of her novel; how she trusted herself to fight for this title; and how she\u2019s juggling the\xa0launch of her debut novel while on submission for her second.\xa0\nListen now to Sarah\u2019s story wherever you get your podcasts. Middletide is out now and it\u2019s a Book of the Month and Indie Next Pick -- buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author\u2019s dreams come true!).\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
