Summary
Zibby talks to author (and former Hollywood actress, screenwriter, and director) Katherine St. John about her latest novel The Vicious Circle, a twisty and unnerving suspense about a woman who inherits a wellness center (or a creepy cult’s home-base?!) in a lush Mexican jungle. Katherine talks about her lifelong love of storytelling, her mandatory book elements (an extraordinary, remote setting and a bit of romance), her immersive brainstorming process, and her plans for TV adaptation. She also talks about her adorable daughters (and mini publicists) and even reveals her skincare secrets!
