238. Writing on the Amtrak Residency – An Interview with Tamara Lush

Tamara Lush is an AP reporter, a longtime journalist, a romance author, and a recent recipient of the Amtrak writer’s residency! She traveled for over two weeks from Orlando to San Francisco by way of New York and Chicago, seeing much of the country while writing and meeting a ton of people. We talk about her work as a reporter, her decision to start writing romance, and about the people, places, and experiences she had as part of her writer’s residency. We talk about how journalism prepared her in part for the challenge of writing contemporary erotic romance, and what she’s working on, plus, as always, we find out what books she’s been reading.

A special note! Between March 15 – April 1 2017,  Tamara Lush’s book Tell Me a Story will be on sale!

    it TOTALLY throws me when the same guy shows up on different covers. That first guy is also Hawke by Sawyer Bennett.

  2. M & M says:

    I remember reading ‘Four past midnight’ as a teenager (I was really into Stephen King back then), and then watching the cheesy film adaptation of The Langoliers. I no longer have the stomach for Stephen King books.

    The story about the two passengers with cancer made me cry just a little bit.

  3. Kareni says:

    Thank you for another enjoyable interview. And thanks, Garlic Knitter, for the transcript.

  4. Dylann says:

    Great interview! Loved hearing about Tamara’s experience on the train… what a great opportunity!

  5. Alex says:

    I was just listening to this episode and as Tamara Lush described the people she met, I was like hey, that sounds familiar. So I googled it, and I read an article about her and her journey in a German news magazine a few weeks ago. This is the article http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/a-1133314.html and even if you don’t understand German, there are a some pictures of the people she met at the train.
