Description
We are thrilled to chat with Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the New York Times bestselling co-authors of The Wife Between Us, An Anonymous Girl, and You Are Not Alone. Their new novel, The Golden Couple, is out now!** After a discussion about what it’s like to create and promote during a pandemic and the overview of this new novel, we discuss Avery, the complicated “maverick” therapist who is one of the dual protagonists in their novel. They share how they wanted the reader to feel her heart and her soul. (04:32)** Marissa, the other half of the dual perspectives and one half of the “golden couple”, has a secret and ends up needing Avery in a way she didn’t expect. We loved hearing about how she represents the shiny image of what so many of us see on social media vs what is really going on underneath. (07:15)** We love a “second act”. Sarah and Greer tell us about the pivots in their careers, why they trusted those signs that it was time for something new, and how they found the courage to take the leap. It sounds to us that the universe and some intuition made this magical duo happen! (10:12).** As co-authors, Sarah and Greer tackled a whole new genre than what they were used to as a writer and an editor in women's fiction. They didn’t follow any rules and weren’t afraid to paint outside the numbers to create a novel with strong female protagonists and suspense elements. (14:43)** Sarah and Greer discuss the conversations between all their novels and how their favorite themes come out in the Golden Couple: complicated relationships and psychology. They explain their writing process and how two authors can write hand in hand. (17:32)** We talk astrology and share how their partnership is written in the stars. (22:16)** We get the scoop on the book-to-screen adaptations and what’s next writing-wise for them together and individually! (28:54)** Sarah and Greer share what they’re loving right now, which involves a lot of yellow and golden things. (30:14)Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @popfictionwomen and on Twitter @pop_women.
