Episode Details

On this inspiring episode of the Authority on Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with author Laura Buchwald, author of The Book of Reservations, to explore how a haunted NYC restaurant became the setting for a powerful story about grief, love, doubt, and moving forward.

Laura reveals how her story, first inspired in 2007, was shelved for more than a decade before returning to life—and eventually becoming a trilogy.

Key Takeaways:

✨ How real-life experiences can inspire unforgettable fiction

✨ How to overcome self-doubt and embrace the “messy first draft”

✨ Why revision is where great writing truly happens

✨ How grief can influence and deepen the creative process

✨ What it takes to transform one story into a cohesive trilogy

Tune in to discover how Laura turned ghosts, grief, and personal challenges into a compelling literary journey—and why sometimes the stories that refuse to leave us are the ones we’re meant to tell.
