Two Books Delivered, Another on the Way: Katie Tallo —Wednesday November 9, 7 pm EST.

This is a return engagement at Capital Crime Writers for Ottawa author Katie Tallo. She first spoke to us in 2020, shortly after publication of her debut novel, Dark August, which quickly became an international bestseller. Poison Lilies, her second novel, came out in May 2022; it has received rave reviews in the New York Times, the Globe and Mail, the Ottawa Citizen and others.

Though Tallo is a relative newcomer as a novelist, her success builds on an extensive previous career as screenwriter and director. She’ll talk to us about:

• what it was like to discover her book review in the New York Times
• how her writing process has evolved from one book to the next
• what it’s like to have a major publisher publicize a novel
• what role she herself plays in marketing her books

Tallo is now working on the third novel in this series. She and her husband live in Ottawa and have an adult daughter.

There will be a draw for a free autographed copy of Poison Lilies (hardcover or paperback, whichever the winner wants). The draw will be open to all members attending the meeting.
