Here's a PDF transcript of the interview. Debbi (01:46): Hi everyone. We're back with our first episode of Season Eight and I'm so excited to have with me a distinguished journalist and a New York Times bestselling author. Previously a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph and chief news reporter at the Mail on Sunday, she's had lots of experience covering crime in her 30-year journalism career. She is also, as I said, a New York Times bestselling author of The Widow, The Child, and The Suspect.. Her latest book is Local Gone Missing. I'm pleased to introduce my guest, Fiona Barton. Hi Fiona. I'm so happy. You're here today. Fiona (02:32): Hi, it's so good of you to have me on. Very pleased to be here. Debbi (02:36): Well, I'm extremely happy to have you here, and I've gotta tell you, I was looking over your books and the first two books concern your sleuth, Kate Waters, who's a journalist. Now, I suspect that a lot of that writing was inspired by your 30 years as a journalist. That's just a guess on my part. What do you have to say about that? Fiona (03:01): Pretty good guess, pretty good guess. Well, it's interesting, because when I started writing The Widow, my first book, I didn't have a reporter in it. It was about a marriage with secrets. It was gonna be told by Jean, my widow in the title. And I thought, oh, I need somebody for Jean to be telling this to. So, Kate came knocking at her door, and gradually her part in the book sort of got bigger, because I loved writing her. It was coming home, you know, she's been everywhere. I've been. And so I kept her for The Child, the second book. And she was the investigator really in the second book. And then the third book, The Suspect, she was still there, but I turned the tables on her poor lady. And she became the story and I thought at the end of The Suspect that I probably ought to let her have a lie-down. She'd been through a lot. So, I rested her and started writing about a whole new cast of characters. Well, it's interesting, because when I started writing The Widow, my first book, I didn't have a reporter in it. It was about a marriage with secrets. Debbi (04:18): Hmm. Did that lead to the book that you have now?

Fiona Barton discusses Local Gone Missing.

Shawn chats with Fiona Barton about her new novel LOCAL GONE MISSING. They also discuss fresh starts, the unique perspectives of household staff, not panicking while writing, what writing isn't always, and the benefits of allowing your writing self to think. About the Author: Fiona Barton has been a journalist - senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at The Mail on Sunday, where she won Reporter of the Year at the National Press Awards, gave up her job to volunteer in Sri Lanka and since 2008, has trained and worked with exiled and threatened journalists all over the world. But through it all, a story was cooking in her head. The worm of a book infected her long ago when, as a national newspaper journalist covering notorious crimes and trials, she found herself wondering what the wives of those accused really knew – or allowed themselves to know. It took the liberation of her career change to turn that fascination into a tale of a missing child, narrated by the wife of the man suspected of the crime, the detective leading the hunt, the journalist covering the case, and the mother of the victim. That book became The Widow, which went on to be a bestseller, garnering rave reviews around the globe. Fiona followed that book up with The Child, and now her most recent is Local Gone Missing. About the book: Elise King is a successful and ambitious detective—or she was before a medical leave left her unsure if she'd ever return to work. She now spends most days watching the growing tensions in her small seaside town of Ebbing—the weekenders renovating old bungalows into luxury homes, and the locals resentful of the changes. Elise can only guess what really happens behind closed doors. But Dee Eastwood, her house cleaner, often knows. She's an invisible presence in many of the houses in town, but she sees and hears everything. The conflicts boil over when a newcomer wants to put the town on the map with a weekend music festival, and two teenagers overdose on drugs. When a man disappears the first night of the festival, Elise starts digging for answers. Ebbing is a small town, but it's full of secrets and hidden connections that run deeper and darker than Elise could have ever imagined.

Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler, and Fiona describes what it was like living in the rural reaches of Myanmar while publishing houses bid at a hot auction for book rights, and how her remarkable career in journalism has feed into her fiction. And we've got three paperback copies of The Suspect to giveaway to three lucky readers.  Enter theThriller Giveaway draw at the Joys of Binge Reading website or on our Binge Reading Facebook page. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How 30 years in journalism helped her fictionThe pain of a 'lost child' a personal themeBecoming an international best-seller on debut On creating a controversial protagonistWorking with exiled journalists What's next in Book four Where to find Fiona Barton:  Website:  https://fionabartonauthor.com/ Facebook: @fionabartonauthor Twitter and Instagram: @figbarton What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny Wheeler: But now here's Fiona. Hello, there Fiona, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Fiona Barton: Hi. Thanks so much for inviting me. Fiona Barton - award winning journalist and breakthrough thriller author Jenny Wheeler: Fiona, you've had a remarkable career in journalism, and we will refer to that a little bit later on, but what was it that made you want to make that switch from nonfiction to fiction? I know some people say that journalists, what they write is fiction, but we both know that that's not true. Was there a catalyst for that change? Finding time to write fiction Fiona Barton: Well, I suppose the catalyst was suddenly having the time to do it. I've written professionally for 30 odd years as a journalist, and so I'd written every day. So, but as a journalist, you're so busy, it's a full on job. I had a family. I've got two children. I commuted, so there was no space in my life for anything more. It was cracking at the seams as it was. So, it was when I stopped being a reporter, in, Oh gosh, 2008. I stepped away from journalism from being a reporter, I carried on in journalism, but I was training journalists then, and we moved to Sri Lanka as volunteers, and I suddenly had time.  I could lift my head - I don't want to say from the daily grind, because I loved my job, but from that full on immersion in my job and my family and all of that. And so suddenly there were hours of the day that were not accounted for. It was wonderful. A debut best-seller I could walk to work, so I wasn't commuting and I'd had an idea buzzing around in my head for a while. A voice, really, the voice of Jean in The Widow. And, I just sat down and one evening I thought, well, why don't I give it a go? I'm not doing anything else. And so, I did. And that was the moment, the Eureka moment, I suppose, when I thought, "I think I can do this and I'm really enjoying it." So yes, it was only when I stopped being a reporter, that I could write fiction. Despite what people say. Jenny Wheeler: Yes. Now you've published three crime thrillers in the last four years, and the first of those that you've referred to, The Widow was very hotly sought after the publishing houses when it went for auction. It was published in 36 countries. The Widow - Fiona Barton's breakthrough best-selling debut novel In Burma with a hit on your hands It made the UK Sunday Times best seller list and the New York Times best seller lists, so both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Fiona Barton’s debut novel THE WIDOW was an instant international sensation when it published in 2016. Upon release it drew rave reviews, spent seven weeks on the New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list. Barton quickly followed up with 2017’s THE CHILD, which was selected by librarians nationwide as a Library Reads selection and hit the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. Barton returns with her highly anticipated third novel THE SUSPECT, again featuring fan-favorite intrepid reporter Kate Waters. After two girls go missing in Thailand during their gap year, Kate receives a call from her police contact Bob Sparkes, who wants the media to help sound the alarm. Kate can’t help but think of her son Jake, who ran off to Thailand after a rough patch in school and has barely been heard from since. When the story of the missing girls turns to tragedy, Kate flies to Thailand to investigate the potentially grisly crime. But upon her arrival, her professional and personal worlds collide in a shocking manner. While Barton’s previous books have posed moral dilemmas about how far Kate would go to get the story, now, Kate must face the question: what happens when the reporter becomes the reported? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Fiona Barton is the New York Times bestselling author of The Widow and The Child. She has trained and worked with journalists all over the world. Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday, where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards.

This week for our deep dive, we introduce a new section of the website for your first reading challenge category (A Book That Currently Reading Pressed Into Your Hands) and then have a conversation about a term we’ve mentioned in passing but never explained: Penelope.

This episode is sponsored by Infinite Twist and Fix-a-Stitch!    Knitting Segments   Show-Ready Knits   Pure Joy by Joji Locatelli I bought the Argentine yarn from Pura Hilados   This brings my Stash Dash total to 1, 124 yards or 1027.8 meters.   I became curious about why some shawl patterns use a garter tab for the starting point, so I did a little research. Check out this blog post at Kelbourne Woolens about garter tabs.   This got me to thinking: how have I gotten away this long without doing a garter tab? What is something in knitting that you can't believe you have never done before? Join in the discussion on the Episode 54 thread on Ravelry!   Stash Dash is a Summer KAL hosted by the Knit Girllls video podcast!      Knits in Rehearsal Worsted Boxy by Joji Locatelli Yarn is Miss Babs Yowza in Oyster   Thank goodness for my Strauch Ball Winder!      Rainbow Vanilla Socks in White Birch Fiber Arts   I'm using the OMG Heel pattern by Megan Williams   Hey Lady Hey is doing a Solidarity Craft-a-long to show support for the victims and families of the mass shooting in Orlando Florida.    This episode of Actually Knitting is sponsored by Infinite Twist. Still looking for that perfect project for the PalKal? Infinite Twist has teamed up with Jan Hamby from the TwinSet Designs Podcast to create a stunning gradient kit for Jan's latest shawl design, Gradient Angles. Using the same foundation as a mitered square, this delightful shawl flies off the needles!" The prize: A Gradient Angles kit, including Jan's pattern, all the hand-dyed yarn you'll need to complete the project, a bamboo circular needle, stitch markers, yarn needle, two-color pattern marking pencil, and a handy gauge card.   Enter "PalKal" as your secret code and get a free pair of 50 gram miniskeins with your order! Auditioning Knits I am thinking about casting on the Solaris Shawl by Melanie Berg with my Pal Kal Mini Kit from One Twisted Tree.    By the way, if you like Melanie Berg then stay tuned for a fun KAL.    Also will be casting on some socks with my Twist Fiber Studio Fairview Fingering Yarn that I purchased last fall. Not sure about the pattern, but likely something from Susie White of the Prairie Girls Knit and Spin podcast.   I will house this project in a Fat Squirrel bag which was gifted to me by Sarah Shoo of the Cultivate and Create podcast.    Knitting News, Notes and Events If you hear this episode on or around June 15th, 2016, go to the Ravelry thread for a special Pal Kal Mini Kit giveaway.    PalKal2016 officially begins on June 15th!   Rules:  The basic idea is to support a podcaster you listen to or watch by knitting one of their patterns and/or using their yarns for your project. You can also use a project bag or stitch marker by a podcaster! The design, yarn/fiber and/or project bag must be from a knitting/crochet/fiber podcaster. (Not all 3, just one of those to qualify). Spinning also counts, just make sure it’s a finished product. Use the chatter thread for discussion. Make suggestions. There are TONS of podcasts out there and almost no one knows about all of them, so if you know of a podcaster designer/yarnie/bag maker, feel free to share with us! You are encouraged to take advantage of the coupon codes offered by our sponsors, but you are not limited to those podcasters for the KAL. Sponsors and coupon codes are listed in the appropriate threads and will be listed on the podcast as well. Please post finished objects in the non-chatter thread and include a link to the podcaster you are supporting. Enter as many projects as you like! There is no minimum yardage requirement or limit to the projects you can enter. If you use more than one podcaster product/design/bag/etc on one project, you may create multiple entries for that project. For example: Knit the Zigzagular Socks by prairiegirlsusie using yarn by Oh! Loops and use a project bag by thefatsquirrel, you can enter that project into the FO thread 3 separate times, just link to each podcaster seperately in each post. A note about project bags: a project bag may only be entered into the contest one time for an entry. (You can’t just keep using a podcaster project bag over and over and entering the contest that way). The same applies for stitch markers. Wips count! Just finish them between June 15 and September 15, 2016. You must be a member of the Actually Knitting Podcast Group to win. Have fun supporting a podcaster designer or yarnie! Please support as many different podcasts as you can! Please do not chatter in the non-chatter thread. It makes it more difficult to draw a winner! Use the tag PALKAL2016 here on Ravelry and #palkal2016 on Instagram. Feel free to double, triple, quadruple dip! This week I have highlighted our Featured Performers and Top Billing Sponsors.
