Zibby interviews Liz Michalski about Darling Girl: A Novel of Peter Pan, an evocative and dark retelling of the classic we all know and love that explores motherhood, sacrifice, and grief. Liz describes the inspiration behind the book (it involves a horrifyingly vivid dream and a fascination with blood rejuvenation techniques–have you heard of vampire facials!?). She also talks about her protagonists (a worried mom and an angsty teenage son), her publishing journey, and her next book. (Hint: it’s another dark, reimagined fairy tale!)

Zibby interviews National Book Award-winning and bestselling author Julia Glass about her brilliant new novel Vigil Harbor. Julia talks about her unique cast of interconnected characters (some of which reappear from earlier books), the intimidating challenge of working with fantastical and speculative elements for the first time, and the pressing global issues spotlighted in the novel. She also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the audiobook process and reveals who some of the voice actors are! (Remember Three Junes? It won the National Book Award and Zibby absolutely loved it!)

Next Episode
Zibby is joined by repeat MDHTTRB guest, motivational speaker, podcast host, and New York Times bestselling author Neil Pasricha to discuss Our Book of Awesome: A Celebration of the Small Joys That Bring Us Together. Neil talks about how the Awesome series came to be (from a few unfortunate life events, to a positivity blog, to TED Talks and one million copies sold), the carefree structure of his books, and his vision for a multi-voice audiobook. The two also discuss the future of reading in a time of fractured attention spans and phone addictions.
