Ch. 81 | Bestselling Historical Fiction Author Bryn Turnbull on The Berlin Apartment, Dark Nights of the Soul, and the Best Fountain Pens

Show Notes

I caught up with international bestselling author Bryn Turnbull at her cottage in the week leading up to the launch of her fourth historical fiction novel (and part psychological thriller), THE BERLIN APARTMENT, on August 27, 2024 (pre-order yours now!)

Bryn's novels expertly blend historical accuracy with emotional depth (no easy feat) and we chat about everything from her research process for writing about the Berlin Wall during the Cold War, to the risk and rewards of being a full-time writer, plus what motivates her to keep writing after contemplating quitting being an author. Bryn also shares the scoop on where to find the best fountain pens and how she marries the practice of writing long-hand with scrivener.

All Toronto readers! You're invited to the book launch party for THE BERLIN APARTMENT at Type Books (across from Trinity Bellwoods) on Tuesday, August 27 at 7pm with Bianca Marais. Catch Bryn at the Grimsby Author’s Festival in November and at A Different Drummer bookshop in Burlington. Keep an eye on the events page for brynturnbull.com.
