In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Kerry Downes about his contemporary novel That Time Everything Was On Fire. In this episode we discuss why she wrote to feel seen and control the narrative when she was going through IVF, how to make both characters in a dual narrative equally important and to navigate restructuring a novel when you're working with a timeline constraint.
