The Junkies discuss what they are looking forward to as summer approaches. Shauna is looking forward to having two functional feet again, and also some of her pop culture wishes to come true, like new Marvel content - chiefly, the new Agatha All Along series. The only Agatha that Olivia cares about is Agatha Christie, but she's always thinking about reading. Speaking of books, Nicole is looking forward to the new TJ Newman book, and if you don't know who TJ Newman is, Nicole will tell you all about the Phoenix-based former flight attendant who now writes thrillers set on airplanes. Olivia will be continuing her jet-set lifestyle, both for work and for enjoyment, and is planning divorce parties for all of her friends. Look out, Shauna! Then the Junkies discuss comfort viewing, which could be movies or television, but just whatever you watch when you need something that you know will make you feel good when the world feels so bad. You'd be surprised how much feel-good content involves, cooking, BFFs and vampires.  We have all new Patreon tiers! Be the first to hear new and uncensored content, if you dare!

Flight attendant turned bestselling thriller author, TJ Newman, joins Simon and Matt to discuss her latest novel, "Drowning" TJ wrote her first book on red eye flights when she was working, sometimes jotting ideas on napkins or scraps of paper. This formed her first book, which received 41 rejections. She talks about her writing journey and why "failure" is a positive thing. She also discusses her writing processes and why she thinks her books will be sold in airports - despite the subject matter! Here comes the science bit... Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors-but it's too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside. More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives. Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent - Shannon's mother and Will's soon-to-be ex-wife - who must work together with Will to find a way to save their daughter and rescue the passengers from the sealed airplane, which is now teetering on the edge of an undersea cliff. There's not much time. There's even less air. With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a family's desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them - against impossible odds.

Hollywood knows a good thing when it reads it, and TJ Newman is a very good thing whose two novels are currently in the works to become movies. Her second thriller, Drowning, once again draws on her flight expertise from a decade spent as cabin crew and it is the perfect summer, or anytime-of-year read. Proper page-turning stuff. As ever, you never quite know where these conversations might go with us, but come on the ride that'll take in some musical theatre (YES! says Natalie), love of the film Titanic, disaster epics and how 41 rejections can be spun into gold!We loved this conversation with TJ and while Phil and Natalie await their own publishing dreams to be realized, if you're in a position to buy a metaphorical cuppa to show your support, thank you!https://ko-fi.com/bestsellerspodcast Hosted on Acast.

“A plane crashes into the ocean, sinks with people trapped inside,” T.J. Newman says in describing the premise of this summer's new novel, DROWNING. The writer returns to the podcast to talk with Olivia about battling the pressures of following up her debut bestseller, and her gratitude for the opportunity to live her dream as a full-time writer. A former bookseller and flight attendant, Newman's commercial airline centered thrillers sparked bidding wars in publishing and in Hollywood. This time around, deadline pressures were as intense as the burden of expectation, but Newman said she loved writing this intensely emotional book: “At its core, this story would not work if it were not a story of grief and loss and hope and survival and a family coming together” she says.  DROWNING is published by Avid Reader Press, available for pre-order before its May 30, 2023 release. Newman will be signing books at Changing Hands Bookstore, where she used to work, on Monday May 29, 2023. She'll be at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore the following night. For more on TJ Newman, and to follow the latest developments as both her books head to the big screen, visit her website.

At the beginning of this season we released an episode called the 10 Best Books We Read This Summer. The only problem? Sarah kept reading, finishing SIX other books and four of them were ones that you NEED to know about. Books Mentioned: Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy Finlay Donovan is Killing it by Elle Cosimano Sparks Like Stars by Nadia Hashimi Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Girl A by Abigail Dean Falling by TJ Newman

The new novel Falling takes place aboard a flight from Los Angeles to New York, during which the pilot learns a terrorist plans to kill his family unless he crashes the plane. Author T.J. Newman, who spent 10 years as a flight attendant, says inspiration for the story came to her while she was at work. "I'm looking out at the passengers who are all asleep ... and I have this thought that their lives, my life, my crewmates' lives were all in the hands of the pilots," Newman says. "It was the first time that I thought: With that much power and responsibility, how vulnerable does that make a commercial pilot?" Newman couldn't shake the question. She began working on the novel in longhand, jotting down dialogue or ideas on paper napkins in the quiet moments on red-eye flights. "A passenger would come around the corner [of the galley] and ask for something, and I just sort of flip the paper over and tuck it away, and then when once they were taken care of, I'd pull it back out and keep going," she says. Newman transferred her in-flight notes into a single document on her iPad during days off and layovers. Little by little, the book came together. Though she's no longer a flight attendant, Newman says she would "absolutely" recommend the job to others. "It's a phenomenal job where you get to visit great places that you probably wouldn't otherwise and stay in nice hotels and fly with the best crews," she says. "That being said, have I spent many days on my hands and knees, scraping up a complete strangers' vomit? Yeah. I definitely have. It's not pretty a lot of the time."
