We are so excited to speak to debut author, Elisabeth Thomas, about her novel, Catherine House, in today’s special author interview episode! Emily and Becky got to sit down with Elisabeth to hear all about what inspired this rich, Gothic-infused novel that both hosts enjoyed reading so much. Stay tuned to hear all about Elisabeth’s inspiration, including how her time attending Yale shaped this genre-bending, speculative book. Plus, the challenges of writing about “plasm,” who she might cast if the book headed to the big screen, and some invaluable pro-tips for anyone who’s ever been intimidated to step into an art museum. And stick around for a tiny sneak peek at what Elisabeth is working on next! Spoiler alert: it sounds amazing.
