If a book has a stalker storyline, I am in. I think because it is one of my biggest fears. When I read about Megan Collins' Cross My Heart, I knew I needed to read it. Heart transplant, stalking, obsession- all the key elements to a twisty thriller reminiscent of the the 90's thrillers we all loved. I loved chatting with Megan about her inspiration ( a real life story inspired!), her writing process, Boston and so much more.

Rea shakes things up on another solo episode of The Real Story this week with an exploratory examination of what's ahead, tackling her own journey into and out of—and back into—the very intense hustle of mainstream publishing and the radical decision to once again bet on herself. After last week's episode discussing the #PathToPublishing with best-selling author, Megan Collins, Rea sheds all pretense, revisits the roots of her early passion for selling a manuscript and launching a book, and how, over the course of her career as an author, diminishing returns gradually started to form a much bleaker narrative. Now, with another prospective book deal on the horizon, Rea is leveraging everything to put herself first, and challenging listeners to do the same.On a final relevant note: Writeway will no longer accept new client submissions for the foreseeable future, effective immediately. All inquiries can be directed to the website, www.writewayco.com, but will be put to a waiting list. Writeway wishes to thank its full battery of current and past clients for two incredible years of wonderful work.If you have questions about your own #PathToPublish, and for any other insights and inquiries, email podcast@writewayco.com and share your thoughts with us.

On this week's episode of The Real Story, nobody is more excited than Rea that her guest on the mic is creative writing teacher and award-winning author of thrillers The Winter Sister and Behind the Red Door, Megan Collins.Megan walks Rea back through her #PathToPublishing, candidly revisiting all the triumphs and setbacks that might all-too commonly befall aspiring writers. While she balanced work as a teacher, Megan built her debut, and with a commendable clarity offers sensible, actionable, and practical advice for both the writing process and weathering the waiting game of publishing that she learned along the way.Perhaps the greatest lesson Megan provides on this episode, as she details her latest smash-hit, The Family Plot, is to write something that you love, advice that begs the questions of us all: Are we writing something that we love, or just something we hope will publish?

This episode is all about books! And it's the last episode of the year. My next episode will be January 6, 2022. Happy holidays! As of December 5, I read 51 books this year. I will likely finish book #52 this week, but I probably won't hit my goal of 60 books in 2021, which is OK. I set a goal just because I have fun tracking my books along the way. In this week's episode, I rank my top 10 books of the year — all were published in 2021. I then give you two extras that I loved this year that were published in 2020. I also mention a few other 2021 books that I haven't read and that don't seem like my cup of tea but that you might want to check out. And, I mention a few 2021 books that I really want to read but haven't gotten to yet. Then I finish up by listing a few 2022 books that I'm looking forward to. Listen to the episode to hear my top books of the year in ranked order — what will be my #1?! However, all of the books I mentioned in this episode are in the list below.

In today's Books with Hooks segment, Carly and CeCe discuss leaning into specificity; concerns over white saviorism and teachable moments; dialogue needing to sound exactly like the character would speak; requiring drama outside of parallelism; starting with character and putting the reader in someone's head right away; how multi-POV books should be pitched; and focusing on plot rather than feelings.After which, Bianca chats with author of The Family Plot, Megan Collins, about writing limited omniscient third person; getting approval from your publisher; the immediacy of present tense; how every story will tell you what it needs; bringing poetry into any genre of writing; how you should choose your POV character; and coming up with secondary characters based on the purpose you need them to serve.

Sharon Tate, Andrew Borden, Charlie Lindbergh, Black Dahlia—if you immediately recognize these murder victims, then you're a Murderino just like Megan Collins. Her third thriller, The Family Plot (Atria), hailed “the quintessential summer thriller for true crime enthusiasts” by Apartment Therapy, follows an unconventional family obsessed with true crime—until they're at the center of one. The Lighthouse siblings were raised in a secluded Rhode Island mansion by true crime-obsessed parents, who named them after murder victims—Dahlia, Charlie, Tate, and Andy—and encouraged murder reenactments. At 26, Dahlia remains haunted by her upbringing and hasn't been able to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother Andy, who vanished a decade ago. Now that her father has passed away, Dahlia returns to the house she's avoided for years, along with Charlie and Tate. But the family makes a gruesome discovery: buried in their father's plot is another body—Andy's, his skull split open with an ax, just like his namesake. As Dahlia grapples with her own grief and horror, she realizes that her eccentric family, and the mansion itself, may hold the answers to what happened to her twin. Megan Collins is the author of The Family Plot, Behind the Red Door, and The Winter Sister. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Boston University. She has taught creative writing at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and Central Connecticut State University, and she is the managing editor of 3Elements Review. A Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, her work has appeared in many print and online journals, including Off the Coast, Spillway, Tinderbox Poetry Journal, and Rattle. She lives in Connecticut. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

THEY LOVE TRUE CRIME…UNTIL THEY'RE AT THE CENTER OF ONE! That's the pitch behind The Family Plot by thriller writer Megan Collins. Megan also wrote The Winter Sister and Behind the Red Door. But The Family Plot, which drops on 8/17 is most likely her darkest work to date. As a bit of backstory: When a family obsessed with true crime gathers to bury their patriarch, horrifying secrets are exposed upon the discovery of another body in his grave. That grabs your attention, right? Same here. Join me as I welcome Megan Collins, a delightful gal whom you'll quickly come to realize has a much darker imagination than her all-American & girl-next-door demeanor.
