In this episode of The Conversation with Nadine Matheson, we welcome the talented Gytha Lodge, author of the gripping new standalone thriller Dead to Me. Join us as we dive into the intricacies of writing a standalone novel and the challenges that come with creating new characters and settings.
Gytha shares her journey of crafting Dead to Me, a story centered around Anna, a journalist who goes undercover to investigate a mysterious death at a Cambridge May Ball. As she navigates her way through a world of privilege and secrets, she must also confront her complicated past with her ex-boyfriend Reid, who receives a desperate email from Anna just as she goes missing. We discuss the balance of writing a compelling narrative while managing personal challenges, the importance of character relationships, and the thrill of setting a story in a familiar yet evolving environment.
Listeners will enjoy insights into the creative process, the significance of emotional depth in characters, and the humorous anecdotes of Gytha's own experiences while researching for the book. This episode is a captivating exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the art of storytelling.
