What are You Reading? What are You Writing? ep. 264 with Susan Paxton

Meet debut author Susan Thumm Paxton, whose January release The Ocean’s Edge is already turning heads. One reviewer called it “addictive… an atmospheric mystery with complex characters, a cleverly woven storyline, and enough suspense to keep you turning pages long after lights out.”

In this episode, Susan shares her writing journey—from idea to publication—and what it’s like crafting a dual timeline mystery that dives deep into family secrets, sibling relationships, and the seductive pull of the ocean.
