Ep 103: Kara Thomas

Catch up with Kara Thomas, author of Little Monsters (out July
25!), The Darkest Corners, and the Prep School Confidential
series about leaning in to a dark personal place with her
writing, solving the mystery of Law & Order in the last five
minutes, the exploitation of “dramatic re-enactments,” and when
stories evade our best-laid plans.
