Welcome back Bookends to Season 2 in our Debut Spotlight series, for today's episode we were joined by Natasha Calder, author of the brilliant and eerie 'Whether Violent or Natural' which was published by Bloomsbury in the UK yesterday! We chatted to Natasha about her experiences from her first book 'The Offset' which she co-authored with friend Emma Szewczak to writing solo for her debut novel. Aswell as deep diving into her writing processes for this book, we chatted unreliable narrators, the joy of not knowing the reveal behind a magic trick and Lydia's obsession with Pedro Pascal... it's a lot. We hope you enjoy!
