We turned our Editors Unedited podcast feature on its head this week! For the first time, we had an author interview their editor. Listen in to this week's episode with the incomparable Susan Elizabeth Phillips, in conversation with her Editor, Carrie Feron. You'll get an inside peek at the relationship between editor and author as well as hear about Susan's upcoming novel Dance Away with Me.
More about Dance Away with Me:
When life throws her one setback too many, midwife and young widow Tess Hartsong takes off for Runaway Mountain. In this small town high in the Tennessee mountains, surrounded by nature, she hopes to outrun her heartbreak and find the solace she needs to heal.
But instead of peace and quiet, she encounters an enigmatic artist with a craving for solitude, a fairy-tale sprite with too many secrets, a helpless infant, a passel of curious teens, and a town suspicious of outsiders, especially one as headstrong as Tess. Just as headstrong, is Ian North, a difficult, gifted man with a tortured soul—a man who makes Tess question everything.
In running away to this new life, Tess wonders—has she lost herself…or has she found her future?
