BFF Book Club - Darkness Calls the Tiger with Janyre Tromp (E106)
Description
Welcome to today’s episode of Bookish Flights! This is a special one—our first BFF Book Club Meeting! The BFF Book Club is a monthly literary adventure where you read the book, join the club, and meet the author. I am thrilled to have Janyre Tromp on the show today to discuss her evocative novel, Darkness Calls the Tiger.
Janyre is the award-winning and best-selling writer and veteran editor with a deep love for history. Her mid-20th century historical novels always simmer with a healthy pinch of deliciously creepy suspense and include Darkness Calls the Tiger, Shadows in the Mind’s Eye and O Little Town. Happy listening!
Episode Highlights:
- All about Darkness Calls the Tiger: Janyre shares insights into the cover design, her research process, and the techniques she used to immerse herself in the setting. We dive deep into the novel’s themes of courage, bravery, and revenge.
- About Janyre: Hear how she transitioned into writing, what her job as an editor involves and how she tackled imposter syndrome to become the accomplished writer she is today.
- Book Flight: Janyre shares some of her favorite 5-star reads from the past 6 months, perfect for your next literary adventure!
Grab a cup of coffee, settle in and our 1st BFF Book Club with Janyre Tromp.
