Best-selling author of THE EXPATS, Chris Pavone and best-selling author of THE DARLINGS, Cristina Alger discuss putting pen to paper, their inspirations, and how they got their start at writers.

From the author of The Banker's Wife and Girls Like Us comes an explosive drama about family, greed and high society scandal. The Darlings of New York are untouchable. But no one is safe from a scandal this big. When Carter Darling's business partner commits suicide, it triggers a huge financial investigation. The allegations are serious. The danger of it exposing their private lives is equally threatening. In times of crisis, the Darlings have always stuck together. But with the stakes so high, how long will their loyalty last?

NY Times Best Selling Author, Cristina Alger (The Darlings, The Banker's Wife) joins Meredith and Janet for an inspiring conversation about her career change, her writing process, turning her book into a movie, and her new book, Girls Like Us.

Back home for the first time in a decade, Nell is getting ready to close the family estate after her father's death. But there's one piece of unfinished business. Her father, a homicide detective, was investigating the murders of two young women. Now his partner has asked for Nell's help. Nell soon realises that her father should be the prime suspect, and that his friends on the force are covering for him.

You're super frustrated with your job but the work is all consuming so there's no time to job search. How do you figure out your next career change and how to make it happen?

A friend convinced her to share her writing and recommended a pivot but Cristina needed to make sure writing would actually make her money before making changing careers. Listen to her path and how she made it happen for herself to work from home while becoming a bestselling mystery and thriller (we love The Banker's Wife!) author.

I received Cristina Alger’s third novel, "The Banker’s Wife," and figured it would literally be a thriller about a banker’s wife. And it is – to a point. But journalist Marina Tourneau is Maggie Haberman, Andrea Mitchell and Nicolle Wallace all rolled up in one. This is a terrific work of continent-hopping fiction and I love the way the character of Marina comes to dominate the narrative and never becomes a victim, never plays the “woman card,” and never needs to turn to a man to fix things for

Cristina is a former Goldman Sachs analyst and a former Manhattan corporate attorney who grew up in the city, attended some of the best schools in the nation, and sadly, lost her father - a well known finance executive - during the 9/11 terrorist attack. We talk about her creative process for developing The Banker's Wife, how her personal life and experiences inspired and influenced the book and financial lessons learned growing up as the daughter of a top finance executive.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Cristina Alger back to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her literary success and her new book THE BANKER'S WIFE. 

Novelist Cristina Alger wrote her first book, The Darlings as a side hustle while working 120 hours a week. When she ditched the day job to write full time, Cristina also walked away from the pricey perks.   But the author of The Bankers Wife, quickly found herself with the time to create better benefits for herself and her family.   For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.bobbirebell.com/podcast/christinaalger

Cristina Alger discusses what it's like to be a native New Yorker (including what types of girl "friends" to watch out for), parenting and writing through loss and hardship, and how she achieved such a compelling single dad point of view in one of her books. She also gives a sneak peek at her next several projects and lends some advice to aspiring novelists. And she makes me laugh.
