On next week’s episode of FRIENDS AND FICTION, we are so pleased to welcome the New York Times bestselling author of 21 novels, Jane Green.

Just out April 5th from Hanover Square Press (an imprint of Harper Collins), SISTER STARDUST is Jane’s first foray into biographical fiction which tells the story of Talitha Getty in Marrakech in the late sixties.
On the after show we will be joined by Kimberly Brock to hear all about her brand new work of historical fiction, THE LOST BOOK OF ELEANOR DARE, which William Kent Krueger has called “complex, compelling, and beautifully crafted.”
