Episode 108 - A Song to Drown Rivers w/ Ann Liang
In today’s episode, Alex and Tara sit down with the icon herself, Ann Liang. Ann is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of the critically acclaimed YA novels This Time It’s Real, If You Could See the Sun, and I Hope This Doesn't Find You. Born in Beijing, she grew up traveling back and forth between China and Australia but somehow ended up with an American accent. She now lives in Melbourne, where she can be found making overambitious to‑do lists and having profound conversations with her pet labradoodle about who’s a good dog.
Listen as they discuss her debut adult historical romance, A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS, how she’s able to write so many books, the switch from YA to Adult, balancing life while on deadline, and how C-dramas inspire her.
