45: Writing Death & Thrills: A Spooky Season Chat with Trish Lundy
Welcome to The Violet Vulture!
This season is entitled Penning the Dark. The formula is simple: me + guest who's written horror or about death, dying, the occult, or the obscure.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Trish Lundy (she//her)!
Trish Lundy grew up in Rochester, New York and now calls the West Coast home. Her debut YA thriller, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY WITH MURDER (4/16/24), was selected as a Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2024. She received her BA in English from UCLA. Trish has worked in marketing, in film production, and in hospice and palliative care. Her speculative short fiction and essays about death and mourning have been published in various magazines and anthologies.
For spooky season (and in anticipation of NaNoWriMo), we chat about the following and then some:
- Our similarly diverse background (including her time as a former hospice & palliative care volunteer),
- The One That Got Away with Murder,
- Trish’s non-negotiables as a writer,
- And we gab about what we’re most looking forward to this autumn/spooky season.
Also, we have another giveaway for y’all! We are giving away a copy of Trish’s debut book, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY WITH MURDER. Here are a few ways you’re able to enter to win⬇️⬇️⬇️
