This week on Crime Wave: OMG.Anthony Horowitz and I discuss his latest mystery, A DEADLY EPISODE. In this sixth book in the Hawthorne & Horowitz series, a *fictional* television production of the first H&H mystery turns deadly when the actor playing Hawthorne is murdered. Horowitz once again inserts a version of himself into the story. Fiction and reality blur as Horowitz turns his trademark wit to create a cleverly layered whodunit that plays fair while constantly inviting the reader to question what's real. He shares the inspiration behind the story, his love of classic whodunits, and the challenges of keeping readers guessing. It's a sharp, entertaining look at how a master storyteller continues to reinvent the genre with plots that both honor and upend classic detective traditions. #podcast #author #interview #authors #CrimeWavePodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #BonnarSpring #BonnarSpringBooks #bookouture #thrillers #AnthonyHorowitz #ADeadlyEpisode Connect with Anthony: https://anthonyhorowitz.com/

Dr. Emma Chapman joins Books, Kids & Creations to talk about her upcoming book The Echoing Universe (May 19, 2026) and her incredible journey from Egyptology to astrophysics. Emma shares how one physics book changed everything for her, leading her to realize that studying stars was another way of looking back in time—just like archaeology.

From communicating with Artemis near the moon to discovering volcanoes hidden beneath Venus's clouds, Emma explains science in a way that feels magical and easy to understand. She also shares the year-long adventure of writing this book—what started as a “2-week project” became a deep dive filled with travel, interviews, and discovery.
