165: Chat with Cailtin Mullen

<p>I had such a fascinating conversation with author Caitlin Mullen, whose second novel, <em>Heather</em>, has just been released in June and is already a USA Today bestseller! Caitlin’s debut, <em>Please See Us</em>, came out in March 2020—quite literally at the start of the global pandemic—and we talked about what it was like to try to launch a writing career during such an unprecedented time, the challenges of publishing during those early pandemic years, and how that experience shaped her as an author.</p><p>We also dive into <em>Heather</em>, a gripping cold-case mystery set in the New Jersey Pine Barrens that explores mothers and daughters, the secrets we keep, and the far-reaching consequences of our choices. Caitlin shares what drew her to this story and how her own writing has evolved since her Edgar Award–winning debut.</p><p>If you love atmospheric mysteries, complicated female characters, and books that stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page, you’ll want to add <em>Heather</em> to your list—and you’ll definitely want to listen to this conversation with Caitlin!</p><p><br /></p><p>Website: www.caitlinmullen.com</p><p>IG: @caitlin_e_mullen</p><p><br /></p>
