If you're one of those people who find summer wardrobes tricky, the key is finding items you can wear on repeat, comfortable colors on trend, and right for every occasion. That's why I love Quince. They make elevated essentials using premium materials like European linen, organic cotton, and washable silk without the traditional retail markup. Quince's 100% European linen pants, dresses, and tops are the pieces you'll reach for all summer long. They're lightweight, effortless to style, and start at just $32. I got the European linen black drawstring shorts, and I adore them. They're polished, will be casual, and go with everything. Their denim is soft and comfortable. Their organic cotton sweaters are perfect for layering when evenings cool down.
Quince's beautiful 14-karat gold jewelry adds a subtle finishing touch. Simple hoops or delicate chains make even the most effortless outfit feel intentional. I have the gold U-hoops and wear them literally every day. If you watch our clips, you will see me in them. Everything at Quinn's is priced at 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for exceptional quality, not brand markup. Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

Welcome to another author interview on the podcast. Now, normally I do a long rundown of introducing the person. This one just says today's guest lives in Toronto with her husband and two children. I know she is also the podcast host of Day Drinking with Authors, which is an awful lot of fun. It's my pleasure to welcome Molly Fader. Molly, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me. I feel like the shorter the bio, the more accomplished an author is. I have to pad. I always pad my bio. It's like she feeds squirrels and loves raccoons and everything else.
Is there anything else you would like to tell us that is not in the bio that's important?
You know, it's funny. I always feel like the shorter the bio, the more there is like I'm hiding. She did Time for Murder. Yeah. I had a bio for a while that said, loves playing tennis with her husband. And my husband was always like, we've played tennis like twice. What are you doing?
I'm like, I know, but I loved it. My latest one says that I like playing escape room games. in Toronto so this is part of my murder mystery but what it doesn't say is I'm the weakest member of the team and that I've got really good escape room teammates whereas I'm just the person that's like communicate you need to communicate that's all I end up doing I don't solve anything I'm just telling people constantly to communicate you're just the editor Yeah, I'm like the facilitator, right? Okay, so for those of you who are not watching on YouTube, I am holding up the cover of the book that we're discussing today, Lady X. It's a beautiful cover. It's going to jump off a shelf. And then I'm just going to read you the flap copy so you know what we're talking about.
And then Molly and I are going to dive in. Los Angeles, 2024. Margot Cooper's life explodes after she discovers that her A-list actor husband sent explicit photos to multiple girls on social media. Desperate to get away from the world and the paparazzi, Margot flees to her childhood home with her teenage daughter in tow. But home isn't the sanctuary Margot was hoping for. In a cardboard box in the corner of the attic, she and her sister find damning evidence about a mysterious vigilante named Lady X, including a blurry newspaper photo from the 1970s of a woman who looks an awful lot like their mother. It turns out that Margot's husband isn't the only family member harboring secrets.
