Welcome back Bookends to the second season in our Debut Spotlight series, for this episode Hannah was joined by screenwriter and novelist Senta Rich to chat about her debut novel 'Hotel 21'- a story of a kleptomaniac hotel cleaner who moves from hotel to hotel as soon as anything gets personal, her need to steal being the driving force to escape dealing with past traumas but at her 21st hotel, her life starts to change in unexpected ways leaving her wondering whether she can continue the path she's on.

We chatted about the differences between her experiences writing a TV show and her experience writing a novel, the inspiration for her characters, mother/daughter dynamics and so much more. It was such a great conversation and we hope you enjoy it too! If you do enjoy please rate, review & subscribe as it helps to boost us in the charts.
