Episode Description

Author of Godshot Chelsea Bieker joins Zibby to talk about her latest book, Heartbroke, which is a collection of short stories all set in California's Central Valley where she grew up. The two discuss one story, in particular, that was partially inspired by Chelsea's tumultuous childhood and troubled relationship with her mother. She also shares how she's been working on these stories for nearly a decade as she procrastinated other work, what her writing process looks like after having two children of her own, and the new novel she's working on next.
