Welcome to Books By My Friends, Amy! Thanks for dropping in for a chat about your new release The Potrero Complex.
JH: What’s the blurb for your book?
AB: A battle-scarred journalist confronts dark, authoritarian forces while racing to uncover the shocking truth behind a missing teen in a small town running short on hope.
JH: What inspired you to write The Potrero Complex?
AB: I began writing The Potrero Complex very early in the pandemic. I felt that we were living through a bit moment in history, and I wanted to capture something about it using an expansive, fictional lens.
JH: What one thing do you love most about writing?
AB: I love discovering connections and themes in a book I’m writing that I had not intended to create. The serendipity of creative surprise–it’s wonderful.
JH: What’s next for you in the way of writing/publishing?
AB: I’m in the difficult stages of mapping a complex novel full of intersecting stories. I don’t know why I’m torturing myself with this nearly impossible task. But anyway, I write across multiple genres, and I expect that will continue.
JH: How can readers get in touch with you?
