Author Visit: Lisa Wingate, Shelterwood (2024) In conversation with Anna Katsavos, Lisa Wingate, author of the best-seller Before We Were Yours (2017), will be discussing her newest book, Shelterwood (2024). Through dual narratives set in 1909 and in 1990, this historical novel intertwines stories of child and land exploitation, escape, survival, and the pioneers who fought for justice in Oklahoma amid power-hungry land barons. The story was inspired by the bizarre reports of “elf children living in a hollow tree,” and the investigation that led to the discovery of the children’s true identities.

Author Visit: Sarah Easter Collins, Things Don't Break on Their Own (2024) In conversation with Crown Publishing’s Senior Vice President and Fiction Publisher Amy Einhorn, meet Sarah Easter Collins, UK-based Edgar Award finalist, during her US tour for a discussion of her debut novel, Things Don’t Break on Their Own (2024). This heart-wrenching mystery tells the story of a woman whose life has been defined, in many ways, by her sister’s disappearance and the belief that she can be found alive. A stray comment at a dinner party proves seismic in exposing the tricks that memories play and the secrets that soon come to light.

She has worked extensively in the field of education, teaching art in the UK, Botswana, Thailand, and Malawi. She studied English and Fine Art at university and is a graduate of the Curtis Brown Creative novel writing course.
