Today, I am joined by Marissa Yarrow to talk about her upcoming novel, Island X! We talk about social media, unveiling mystery, on both a macro and micro scale, the mindset behind a big tonal shift, writing the book you want, actually sitting down at the keyboard, writing with a typewriter, working through trauma in a story, and using House of Leaves as a comfort book. Island X was a blast and caught me completely off guard, and Marissa was a great guest!
