Author and writing coach Mary Adkins joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel, Palm Beach, which was inspired in part by her family's move to Florida in 2019. The two talk about the aspects of Mary's real life that made it into the book, what research she did on income inequality to create the story's primary tension, and why some of her friends weren't huge fans of her protagonist. Mary also shares what she's currently reading and where she is with her next project.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ljrzoABookshop: https://bit.ly/3o6MPzq Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
