From Kelly Duran: With the arrival of 2021, my debut year has ended and it\u2019s time to get to know a new group of debut authors. Luckily for all of us, the\u00a0Class of 2021<\/a>\u00a0is an impressive class indeed. These authors have so many fabulous books coming out this year I\u2019m going to need a whole new wall of bookshelves to hold them all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am thrilled to feature a Q&A with one of those talented 2021 debut authors\u2014who also happens to be my agent sibling\u2014Aggie Blum Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can relate to so many of her answers here, especially about trying to carve out some time to write when your entire family is home because of the pandemic. Might be time to get myself a pair of noise cancelling earphones too! ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you hope readers will take away from this book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, I want them to enjoy it as an entertaining read and a whodunnit! I love hearing that readers did not predict the ending. But I\u2019d also like them to really care about Allie, the main character, and her struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the biggest challenge this book presented? What about the biggest opportunity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest challenge for me was really tapping into the emotions of the main character and her vulnerability. It took me a while to strip her defenses back and lay her vulnerabilities bare. But it was an opportunity to really grow those muscles and challenge myself to write in an uncomfortable space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a debut novelist always has its own sets of challenges and high points, but in 2021, the experience is indelibly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, when authors with books coming out in the near future aren\u2019t doing readings in bookstores or having book parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live on a smidge more than quarter of an acre, and over the years I have planted about ten trees, a dozen shrubs, countless perennials, herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Some of these gardening experiments turned out brilliantly \u2013 the wispy stick of a birch stuck in the ground the fall we moved in is now a looming tree, whose cinnamon bark peels off in layers. Other choices have been less than stellar, such as the heavenly-scented Daphne that cost a small fortune and caught a chill her first winter, promptly keeling over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve come to realize that gardening has taught me much about writing.\u00a0\u00a0
