The Writing Table with Kris Clink
The Writing Table is a podcast for writers and book lovers. Whether you're a seasoned writer or curious about the writing life, pull up a chair. Hear from authors from every stage-from New York Times list-makers to debuts. You'll get a behind-the-scenes view of your favorite books-from writing the ugly first drafts to the final editorial processes.
Check out interviews with Phillipa Gregory, Jennifer Weiner, Lemony Snicket, Laurie Frankel, and so many others. Come on in-there's always room at the writing table.
Hosted by Kris Clink, author of Goodbye, Lark Lovejoy and Sissie Klein is Completely Normal. Kris’s novels are set in middle America where front porches offer the best views, books are treasured, and there’s always room to pull up an extra chair at dinner. A native Texan, she’s now at home in Kansas with her husband, two spoiled pups, and the gorgeous cardinals who visit her back deck.

Jessi Cole Jackson's Romantasy Debut: Ruinous Creatures
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jessi Cole Jackson grew up in rural Michigan surrounded by lakes, cornfields, and hard-working pragmatists who would never call themselves artists, despite woodworking, sewing, baking, flower arranging, building, drawing, and crafting. Thus, it took her twenty long years to accept that she was, in fact, creative, just like everyone had been telling her all along. But she wasn’t quite ready to admit her true dream of writing, so she studied and pursued a backup career: theatre.
Jessi spent twelve years building costumes for various award-winning theatres in Cincinnati, DC, Philadelphia, Princeton, and the north shore of Boston. After getting an MFA in writing at Hollins University–where she honed her craft and found her people–she left theatre and moved back to rural Michigan where she lives with her family, has a very practical day job, and rarely calls herself an artist despite sewing, amateur sculpting, embroidering, and, of course, writing. Jessi has published various short stories, mentored emerging writers. RUINOUS CREATURES is her debut novel.
