On this episode of Debut Discussions, we welcome Sandra Chwialkowska to discuss her novel, The Ends of Things, a story that is both a thought-provoking suspense and a meditation on female friendship and agency.
Sandra shares her journey as a writer and producer, discussing her literary influences, the transition from literature to television writing, and the personal inspiration behind her debut novel. We chat about themes of solitude, freedom, and the complexities of female friendships, as well as the character development of Laura, the protagonist, who grapples with her own fears and the concept of catastrophizing. The significance of the title and the exploration of female obsession are also highlighted. Finally, we turn to the woo-woo and get tangible inspiration from Sandra about the power of manifestation through vision boards and how it has played a part in her publication journey.
Listen now to Sandra’s story. The Ends of Things is out now -- buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author’s dreams come true!).
