Friends & Fiction

We’re four bestselling novelists and friends whose common love of reading, writing, and independent bookstores bound us together. Now we want to share and celebrate stories—of the books we’ve written, the ones we’re reading now, and the art of writing—with each other and the guest authors we invite to join us. If you love books and are curious about the writing world, you’re in the right place.

Friends & Fiction Special Feature on SURVIVING SAVANNAH Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

This “F&F Special Feature” is all about Patti Callahan’s SURVIVING SAVANNAH. Newly released in paperback, this is the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling novel that none other than Kristin Hannah called “an atmospheric, compelling story of survival, tragedy, the enduring power of myth and memory, and the moments that change one's life.” Hear directly from Patti in a specially taped personal message which leads right into a recording the full F&F team—Patti, Kristin, Kristy, MKA, Ron & Meg—made while they were together in February at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, GA. The crew talks about the things each of us saves and why, and they handle actual artifacts pulled from the bottom of the sea in the Pulaski’s wreckage, all while standing in front of the scale model of the "Titanic of the South" itself.
