Summerween by Joss Wood (with Ute Hermanus)
Loading player...
"Love needs to be fought for."
A dancer on a man-free summer. A trauma surgeon working out his PTSD. And two ghosts with a lot of opinions. Ute Hermanus is in conversation with best-selling romance author Joss Wood on Summerween, and the delicious push-and-pull of a friends-to-lovers story where neither party is looking for love. They talk about writing characters who become each other's soft place to land, why every choice in a Joss Wood book comes with a consequence, and why she refuses to write a woman who has to give up her career for a man. Plus: the ghosts, the witches, the BTS references, and why Luna the crap witch kept trying to hijack the book.
Joss Wood's new book is Summerween. Professional dancer Wren Callahan's plan for the summer is to sip margaritas by the lake, bask in anonymity, and dodge any drama from her ex. Instead, her meddling godmother Luna — Halloween Town's mayor and resident white witch — ropes her into choreographing a teen performance at the first Summerween festival.
Joss Wood is a best-selling romance author.
Ute Hermanus is a radio host and presenter at KFM 94.5, and a devoted book lover.
