Summary
"Fiction is really about imagining and putting yourself in the shoes of characters that you really have nothing in common with." Zibby is joined by author Soon Wiley to talk about his debut novel, When We Fell Apart, which he has been writing for the last seven years. Soon shares how although he and his protagonist have a lot in common, he enjoyed writing from the book's female perspective much more. The two also discuss Soon's journey to publication, which non-mystery stories inspired this project, and what he's working on next.
