Join two first-time published authors as they discuss their books and their writing and publishing experiences.
Margot Berwin's sultry debut novel, Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire: A Novel, explores plant magic, spiritual discovery, and romantic fever in the jungles of Mexico—an adventure that finds its roots at a green market in lower Manhattan and in one very special Laundromat. Publisher's Weekly starred review says, "It's a fun page-turner—escapist and wonderfully entertaining."
Matthew Dicks presents his debut novel, Something Missing, about an obsessive-compulsive thief who only steals things you would never miss, like toilet paper or an egg from the fridge, as a way of getting to know his "clients." The New York Times continues by saying, "Despite his obsessive-compulsive work ethic, Martin manages to get himself in trouble over a toothbrush — but not before we’ve decided to let him in next time he calls."
