Katie Sise is a bestselling author, TV host, and jewelry designer featured in major fashion magazines and television shows.

After ghost writing bestselling NYT suspense books, she published three of her own novels with HarperCollins and has gone on to sell bestselling adult novels since, the most recent of which was released this November, The Break.

Among other things, Carter and Katie discuss the importance of perseverance in writing, Katie’s experience with ghost writing, and the relationship authors have with their characters. At the end of their conversation, they set up an intense scene worthy of a Netflix thriller, beginning with a sentence out of Two Days Gone by Randall Silvis.
