Summary
Zibby is joined by writing duo 'Taylor Hutton' (the pseudonym used by bestselling authors Adele Griffin and Julie Buxbaum!) to discuss STRIKE AND BURN, a seductive, devastating, and unputdownable dark romance. The two share how their friendship—originally set up by author Sarah Mlynowski—evolved into a collaborative writing partnership and an unexpected dive into dark romance (or… “traumantasy”). They delve into their unique writing process, the freedom of writing under a pseudonym, and how their book explores trauma, love, and healing.
