‘Who is Maud Dixon' by Alexandra Andrews is a  a fun and fresh premise with lots of mild twists and turns, some obvious, others not so much. I can't really share the plot with you without spoiling anything, but that's also what's fun about this novel -- I had no idea where it was going. 

On this week's episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are joined by Mary and Roxanna and are discussing: Would You Rather: it's a game. it's bookish. it's fun!

And we've got just the book for your fall reading–our book of the month is none other than Who Is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews. Alexandra is a journalist, an editor, and copywriter who works from New York and Paris, and this is her very first book! We think she hit it out of the park–and a lot of people feel the same. Who Is Maud Dixon? was named best mystery novel of the year by the New York Times, best book of the year by Time Magazine and has gotten kudos from NPR, Publishers Weekly–and host of other publications.. Can we take a minute to imagine your very first book being met with that level of success? It's so exciting what she's accomplished, and you'll love hearing how she crafted such a page turner–it will surprise you and there's more than one twist, which is the best kind of thriller.  If you're not already a member of the book club, there's so much more to discover in the conversations around amazing books we're reading together. Jump on over to jenhatmakerbookclub.com after this episode to sign up!    Thought-Provoking Quotes:“I'm always inspired the same way, which is reading another book and thinking, oh, I wish I could do that. And for a long time it was mostly nonfiction books and I really wanted to be Joan Didion.”  - Alexandra Andrews “There are a lot of women, or people in general, not just women, who've had a tough upbringing, they've been up against a lot of obstacles, and how much leeway do they deserve, and how much can we really blame them for not having the tools to go after success in ordinary ways?” - Alexandra Andrews “I'd been writing for so long and without any success, and even when I just finished the first draft, I was so happy I finished the first draft. And then when I got an agent, I was just thrilled I had an agent. And then when it sold, every step has felt like icing on the cake.” - Alexandra Andrews   Alexandra's Links Alexandra's website Alexandra's Instagram Books & Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeJoan Didon The Talented Mr. Ripley Elena Ferrante Patricia Highsmith

On this week's show, we're setting up Bria Schirripa. Bria is a product manager by day and a writer and creator by night. She documents the latest happenings in New York's charming West Village neighborhood on her page, the Bleecker Street Beat. Naturally, her dream Saturday consists of a walk in the neighborhood, in addition to drinking an overpriced latte and hoping for a Timothee Chalamet sighting. Bria is an avid reader, and recently loved the novels The Boys Club by Erica Katz, Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews, and Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner, but generally doesn't love fantasy novels. A self-proclaimed snob about pasta, her dream vacation would be in Florence. She thinks she would have thrived in the late ‘70s and ‘80s thanks to big hair and disco.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Red Fern Book Review! Amy reviews two of the biggest books of 2021: Who is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews and Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty. Both are bestselling mysteries that are executed very differently. Who is Maud Dixon? is a clever thrill ride that combines an edgy whodunit reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith with the fun and accessibility of Sophie Kinsella. Apples Never Fall is the much anticipated novel by the author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers. The novel focuses on missing matriarch Joy Delaney, her four adult children, husband, and a mysterious houseguest.Books and media discussed:River Cafe Table 4, podcastTig and Cheryl: True Story, podcastWho is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra AndrewsApples Never Fall by Liane MoriartyStrangers on the Train by Patricia HighsmithStrangers on the Train, movie, directed by Alfred HitchcockThe Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia HighsmithCasablanca, movie, directed by Michael CuritzRemember Me?

In this episode of the DevReady Podcast, Andrew Romeo sits with his coach, Alexandra Andrews, Managing Director and Executive Coach Director of My Personal Coach and over the duration of a little more than half an hour, they discuss the difference that getting the right coach can make to not just one's business but also to one's other projects and relationships. Many in the business are either driven by ego or are victims to paralysis by analysis, and Alex's advice to those is, first and foremost, to work out the ‘Whys': why are you making a certain business decision, why are you thinking a certain thing. She furthers, the key then is to never settle for the first answer because that is the ‘safe answer', the filter that we all use, either knowingly or unknowingly. She emphasizes that there is a need to dig deeper and to keep on asking until one gets to that fundamental, heartfelt ‘Why'. Topics Covered: · Overcoming ‘Paralysis by Analysis · The Process of Building a Happy-Team · Understanding Team Dynamics · Right People for the Right Roles · Assessing and Reflecting

Have you ever worked with a personal coach?We all have a lot going on in our lives and regardless of what's happening in your career, your family, or your projects, if things are out of balance, it can get really stressful. In this episode, Rebeka chats with her personal coach, Alexandra Andrews, to talk about what exactly a coach does and the type of work she does with Rebeka to help keep her life in balance. Alexandra talks about taking ownership of your state and how you show up in the world instead of reacting out of stress. She and Rebeka chat about not comparing your life or capabilities to anyone else, but defining what brings YOU joy and not just being busy for busy's sake.It's certainly a full time of year with Christmas around the corner and if you've got any projects going on, that can add a huge amount of stress. Just remember, too much stress can be counterproductive. Think about how you could bring the different areas of your life into a greater balance. And if that's something you struggle with, get in touch with Alexandra! She's been a huge help for Rebeka!

Alexandra Andrews is the author of Who is Maude Dixon, a delightfully twisty new mystery that has been described as heir to Patricia Highsmighth's legacy (think Strangers on a Train or The Talented Mr. Ripley). It's the story of a young woman who works in publishing, is disillusioned with her prospects, and suddenly finds herself as the assistant for an Elene Ferrante-like novelists. Suddenly, the two of them are caught up in an international mystery complete with mistaken identities, cliffside car crashes, and foreign investigators that may or may not be bribable. It's a great time between two covers. So join David as he chats with Alexandra about the books she loves the most, the titles that inspired her to become a writer.

You might remember this bonus episode, where Jennie Nash and I discussed “Shiny Thing Syndrome” and I was dubious about whether working with other writers as a book coach was a great side gig or a distraction for ME.

Who Is Maud Dixon? is a tale of literary identity theft. And that’s about all I can tell you. When I spoke with Alexandra Andrews about her novel, I assured her we would avoid plot spoilers. But that didn’t stop us from talking about some of the characters, identity, her editing process, and the fact that Who Is Maud Dixon? is Hollywood bound.

What a great time we had gabbing with this debut author about her recently published (and much buzzed-about) novel... almost as great a time as we had reading it!

EP108: My latest guest is Thérèse Plummer, an actor and award-winning audiobook narrator, who lives and works in The Big Apple. She has recorded over 500 audio books for various publishers and won the 2020 Audie Award for her collaborative work on "The Only Plane In The Sky: An Oral History of 9/11" by Garrett M. Graff which garnered Audiobook of the Year!   Thérèse was a complete stranger to me when we logged onto Zoom for this interview as I had coordinated the interview through her publicist, but we instantly connected. She's the first actor I've interviewed and I so enjoyed hearing her backstory from being a rebel as a teenager to making the decision, at the last minute, to not go the traditional route of college, and instead followed an inner calling, moving to New Your City to become an actor.   We cover a lot of topics that I think you'll find relatable, but the main thing I came away with is that I believe Thérèse is an old soul, wise beyond her years from a very young age. I found her reflections about life to be quite insightful.   If you'd like to learn more about Thérèse and her interesting career,.below you'll find links to her website and various works:   Website: www.thereseplummer.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plummertherese/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tplummer76   Books: Tools of the Titans by Tim Ferris: https://amzn.to/3sCYxSp Come Find Me (Audio Play) by Erin Mallon: https://amzn.to/31GRPit Virgin River (Book 1) by Robyn Carr: https://amzn.to/31Bmxcz Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews: https://amzn.to/3cExnF4 The Music of Bees by Eileen Garvin: https://amzn.to/3rJXm2h   Flicks: Virgin River (Series on Netflix): https://www.netflix.com/watch/80240027 Nomadland with Frances McDormand (Movie on Hulu): https://g.co/kgs/5e82fg   If you like this podcast but haven't yet given us a 5-star rating or a review (only on Apple iPhones), please do!

Who is Maud Dixon?: Book By Alexandra Andrews “Who Is Maud Dixon? combines a rapid-fire plot with larger questions of authenticity and authorship, creating an edgy and distinct work that is as compelling as the mysterious figure at its center.” Website: https://gobookmart.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Clever, cunning, and diabolical in the best possible way. Anyone longing for a good old-fashioned thrill need look no further Ann Patchett Celebrated, bestselling, elusive...who is Maud Dixon? Florence Darrow wants to be a writer. Correction: Florence Darrow IS going to be a writer. Fired from her first job in publishing, she jumps at the chance to be assistant to the celebrated Maud Dixon, the anonymous bestselling novelist. The arrangement comes with conditions - high secrecy, living in an isolated house in the countryside­. Before long, the two of them are on a research trip to Morocco, to inspire the much-promised second novel. Beach walks, red sunsets and long, whisky-filled evening discussions...win-win, surely? Until Florence wakes up in a hospital, having narrowly survived a car crash. How did it happen - and where is Maud Dixon, who was in the car with her? Florence feels she may have been played, but wait, if Maud is no longer around, maybe Florence can make her mark as a writer after all...

Beautiful meditation with special guest Alexandra Andrews. Tools for releasing addiction and anxiety. Releasing the beliefs of selfishness and bringing in the energies of selflessness and self care.
