In this episode, bestselling thriller author Chris Pavone — known for The Expats, The Paris Diversion, and Two Nights in Lisbon — reflects on his transition from a publishing career to becoming a full-time novelist. He shares how his life abroad shaped his early storytelling, why he’s drawn to characters navigating uncertainty, and the techniques he uses to build tension, craft twists, and turn cities like Lisbon and Paris into living characters on the page.
Pavone explains how he researches international thrillers, how he balances fact and invention, and what makes a twist not just clever but deeply satisfying. He also discusses the challenges of returning to the same characters for a sequel and what he hopes global readers — including those at the Sharjah International Book Fair — take away from his work beyond suspense alone.

Moza Al Rand: Healing Through Words at the Poetry Pharmacy
In this episode, Moza Al Rand, Head of Events and Planning for the Poetry Corner at the Sharjah International Book Fair 2025, shares the story behind the innovative Poetry Pharmacy — a space where poems serve as emotional remedies for visitors. She discusses how the concept was brought to life, the creative challenges of transforming poetry into an interactive experience, and how it ties into the fair’s theme “Between You and a Book.” Moza also reflects on how the Poetry Pharmacy redefines the reader–writer connection, turning literature into a deeply personal act of healing and reflection. Looking ahead, she reveals her hopes for expanding the initiative into a permanent feature at Sharjah’s cultural events.
