New York Times Bestselling author Lisa Scottoline joins Michael with her 2008 hit novel "Lady Killer." Mary DiNunzio is a trademark Lisa Scottoline heroine—she's strong, she's smart, and she's got plenty of attitude. She's become a big-time business-getter, and the last person she expects to walk into her office one morning—in mile-high stilettos—is super sexy Trish Gambone, her high school rival. Mary is forced to confront some very uncomfortable truths about her own past, and the profound effects of lifelong love—and hate. Original air date 20 March 2008. The book was published on 19 February 2019.

She shares fascinating details about what inspired her characters ... and how she wandered all over Sicily (including being thrown out of a place!) for her research! We cover it all -- we talked about darkness and light. Justice and oppression. Hardship and fighting the good fight. Do you have superstitions that haunt you? Do you blame bad things on something you've done?  We discussed the foundations of modern Sicily, the rise of the Mafia, the role (and secret power) of women in 19th Century Sicily. We touched on power in relationships, justice, class warfare, colonization, capitalism, and love. (and how do we do every act with love?) Do you know what the Italian word "Agita" means? We do now!

They cover a lot of ground, talking about the trip to Sicily that inspired the characters and the settings. Before heading there, Lisa had done a lot of research about Italy and the rise of the Mafia, but her travels gave her the opportunity to situate her characters and bring them to the page for readers. They also discuss the book's structure and why it was done that way. Edoardo Ballerini narrates the audiobook, and Lisa explains why she feels he is so right for this book. Plus, she shares what the novel's original title was and why it changed.

Jamie explains what drove her to join Goldman Sachs in the late '90s and the obstacles she faced as she started her career. She shares details about the demands of the job and the cost of her success. As both her marriage and her mental health were tested, she made plans to leave the company, creating a “spreadsheet of freedom” to calculate the moment “she would have enough financial security to quit.” As she moved on from Goldman, she discusses how she worked to redefine herself --- and what a challenge that was.

Carol first read Thrity's novel, THE SPACE BETWEEN US, back in 2006, which made a big impression on her. The same can be said of HONOR. Thrity talks about the reporting that Ellen Berry did for the New York Times that drew her to want to tell the story of Smita, an Indian-born reporter who has been asked to cover a story for a colleague. Smita left India as a child, and she has been reluctant to return. She will be covering the trial of two brothers. They have been charged with killing the husband of their sister, Meena, who in the wake of this tragedy has been horrifically burned. The reason for the crime? Meena's family is Hindu, and her husband was Muslim. In this village, such merging of cultures is unacceptable. Thrity talks about the difference between life in the city and the smaller villages. She also shares that she always sees a story right from the start and parses it out as she writes. And before you feel that this interview was all intellectual, do note that Carol confesses to watching both “Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives” and “Indian Matchmaking” on Netflix. Thrity chides her about it.

Alli Frank and Asha Youmans talk to Carol Fitzgerald about their first two novels, TINY IMPERFECTIONS and NEVER MEANT TO MEET YOU, both of which are Bookreporter Bets On selections. Both books are sharply smart and full of comedic timing (Carol laughed out loud reading both) as readers see both dialogue and inner monologue from characters. Alli and Asha once worked together in a tony private school; Alli was a kindergarten teacher, and Asha was an administrator. Each often said, “If I ever write a book.” And then one day they joined to do just that. They talk about their co-writing process. And they share how their different backgrounds - Alli is white and Jewish, Asha is Black and Baptist - inform their writing realistic characters. At a time when diversity is being touted in publishing, Alli and Asha are creating characters that talk the talk - and make you laugh.

Lynda was writing something else when Lynda's daughter brought her roommate home when their college classes shut down during the pandemic. The three of them ended up watching “Indian Matchmaking” on Netflix, and the roommate piped up and said that her grandmother had been a matchmaker. This sparked an idea for Lynda. Suddenly she found herself casting the book that she was writing aside to tell the story of a Jewish matchmaker who had been born in 1910, along with that of the matchmaker's granddaughter, a divorce lawyer in 1994. THE MATCHMAKER'S GIFT is laced with lots of historical details about matchmaking and Rabbinical courts, and is peppered with Yiddish expressions.

The Crew runs a successful counterintelligence op in the latest episode as we reveal the identity of debut author Ryan Steck, a.k.a. The Real Book Spy. We use enhanced interrogation techniques to draw out the truth behind his decision to become a double agent – that is, to become an author in addition to being a book reviewer. Check out the debrief ahead of the release of FIELDS OF FIRE. “You know Ryan Steck as the Real Book Spy. Now, get to know him as the author of Fields of Fire, his debut thriller featuring Marine Raider Matthew Redd in a battle that will leave you speechless and begging for more. Lock and load!” —Jack Carr, Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Hand     Waiting to be deployed on a critical mission, elite Marine Raider Matthew Redd stops to help a stranger and wakes up hours later to learn his team was wiped out in an ambush. Unable to remember anything, Redd can't deny the possibility that he's somehow responsible for the information leak that led to the massacre. He's given a deal to avoid a charge of treason, but it means walking away from the Corps and the life he loved.   As he faces his loss, Matty gets a cryptic message from his adoptive father, J. B.: “Trouble's come knocking. . . . Might need your help.” He points his truck home to rural Montana, only to discover that J. B. is dead and the explanation for his death is far from satisfying. Determined to dig up the truth, Redd uncovers a dark global conspiracy with his hometown at the center and no team at his back—except one he might find among past friends, old enemies, and new allies, if he can figure out who to trust.   Ryan Steck is a freelance editor, an author, and the founder and editor in chief of The Real Book Spy. Ryan has been named an "Online Influencer" by Amazon and is a regular columnist at CrimeReads. Praised as "One of the hardest working, most thoughtful, and fairest reviewers out there" by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, Steck has "quickly established himself as the authority on mysteries and thrillers" (Author A.J. Tata) on his way to being endorsed by #1 New York Times bestsellers Mark Greaney, Brad Thor, Kyle Mills, Jack Carr, C.J. Box, and many others.

Casey gives readers a real 360-view of the heinous crimes committed by Tony Costa in the summer of 1969 when young women were not just murdered, they also were dismembered and violated after their deaths. With the national story of the Manson murders, and the local story of Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick, Costa's rampage never made widespread news, but it has a long and storied history on the Cape. Casey shares how he came upon the idea of writing this book and his extensive research project, which included seeing some photos with images that are hard to get out of his mind. Also layered into the story are two literary legends --- Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer --- each of whom competed to write about these murders, and the rivalry between them. He also talks about the film adaptation of HELLTOWN, which was signed even before the book was done.

It was a “Good Morning America” Book Club selection for April and an instant New York Times bestseller. Bonnie shares that one day she walked away from a meeting, headed to her desk, and banged out the first chapter of the book --- and explains what inspired that. She also talks about Elizabeth Zott being a character in an earlier book draft, where her role was not part of the main storyline, and why she loves writing her. She studied chemistry to write this book and brought on chemist friends to check her work lest the publisher's copywriters needed to brush up on their science skills. She discusses why she wanted to set the book against the timing of the late '50s and '60s. Carol guesses why Bonnie's dog is named 99; Bonnie likes her idea, but that is not the reason.

Miranda Cowley Heller joins Carol Fitzgerald for a “Bookaccino Live” Book Group program to discuss her debut novel, The Paper Palace. Please note that this program is full of spoilers, unlike our interview with Miranda last year, as yes, this is a book group discussion where we assume that everyone has read the book. Miranda talks about the depth of her characters and the need to see the situation through their eyes to grasp the complexity of their choices. She also talks about why she chose to write in first person and set a special timeframe. We conduct a poll about what our book group attendees thought about the ending, and Miranda discusses her choice to write it the way she did. She also talks about writing the screen adaptation for HBO.

In today's Books with Hooks, Carly and CeCe evaluate two submissions each and discuss not feeding the reader all the information right up front; how the reader should be the co-pilot; that understanding how much you should reveal is a complicated  dance; not starting with a child's POV when it's an adult novel; and having things happening in the first pages and not just setting the sceneAfter which, Femi Omotade joins Bianca again to interview bestselling and award-winning Lisa Scottoline, author of What Happened to the Bennetts. They discuss channeling empathy to create realistic characters; how all writing leads to other writing;  how writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised; the importance of endings; and how Lisa's writing has evolved over the course of her career.Find us on our socials:Twitter: @TSNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyraInstagram: @biancamarais_author @carlywatters @cece_lyra_agent @ the_shit_about_writingFacebook: @tsnotyawWebsite: www.biancamarais.comLisa can be found at @LisaScottoline on Twitter and Instagram, and at www.scottoline.com Femi can be found at @thebookalert on Instagram

Get ready for a raucous good time on this episode as we welcome back to the show an all-time F&F fave, the #1 New York Times-bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of thirty-three novels, Lisa Scottoline! Lisa joins us to talk about her latest pulse-pounding thriller, a soon-to-be major bestseller when it's released by Putnam on March 29th, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BENNETTS. We talk about her writing process, her Philly Inquirer column and books she writes with her daughter, author Francesca Serritella, her dogs, and her love for Bradley Cooper. We learn all about whether Roasato & DiNunzio will make a comeback and if Lisa has more historical ficion on deck after last year's phenomenal ETERNAL (recently released in paperback).
