About this listen
There are some episodes of Book Talk that are a special treat and today's is one of those. Sarah Arthur and I met briefly at the Christy Awards where everyone was abuzz about her nominated novel Once a Queen. What I learned quickly is that novel and her latest, Once a Castle, are heavily influenced by her love of Tolkein, Lewis and L'Engle. She has written many non-fiction works including A Walk with Frodo and A Light so Lovely, now sitting on my TBR pile, which explore the themes and lives of books and great authors. Those influences dash across the pages of her novels.
I so enjoyed this conversation that covered everything from the difference in writing a first novel over 20 years versus a second in 8 months and the way fiction and nonfiction are so vastly different to write. We also explored the themes of her books and the joys she finds in writing -- it's such a sweet joy -- I don't want to spoil it for you. My Amazon cart filled, and I can't wait to hear what you love most about meeting this delightful author.
