Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. Welcome back to another episode of Barely Famous Podcast. Today we have Ashley Flowers. Welcome to Barely Famous. Thank you. And congratulations, published day for The Missing Path. Yeah, finally. So exciting.
I know, okay, you said it took you for, or you wrote it a long time ago. Yeah. Okay, so tell me about it. Let's talk about it. Yeah, well, the book's been done for like a year and a half. Oh, so what was that waiting for?
Man, publishing. I like, it was like, you have to find all the right times, right? So like the publishers need like a certain amount of time to like get it in bookstores, sell it. Then it was like, by the time it was ready, it was going to be the election. It was like, not ideal. Yeah. And then they're like, okay, we can wait till January.
But then like, who knows what was going to happen this January?
Yeah.
And so it just kept pushing and pushing and pushing. So we landed on May 6th. Somehow it felt like it was never going to come, but here we are.
Yeah. No, it's perfect timing, I feel, because we're just coming off of spring break, but going into the summer. So people will have more time to read. That's what I'm hoping for. Exactly. Okay. So what inspired The Missing Half?
So for me, I don't know how. It's always just like an idea that comes to me. So the same for my first book, All Good People Here. It will be – whether it's a concept or one twist and then like my writing process is – kind of built around that one thing. Okay.
Which like I realized I had an event last night with Gillian Flynn and I was listening to like her and like very legit authors talk about their process and I was like, oh, that's not how I do it.
