In this interview, I chat with Amy Lin about Here After, writing about the grief she experienced after losing her husband, narrating her audiobook and how that process worked, creating a book that is a mirror versus a guidebook, writing in the present tense and moving around in time, the title and cover, and much more.

Amy's recommended reads are:

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson
State of Paradise by Laura van den Berg
Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje
