Rochelle B. Weinstein, WHAT YOU DO TO ME

Guest host Julie Chavez interviews author Rochelle B. Weinstein about her seventh book, WHAT YOU DO TO ME, which features a dual timeline and explores themes of love, nostalgia, and the impact of parental choices. Rochelle discusses her process of weaving music into her storytelling, revealing how she secured lyric approval from Tom Higgenson of Plain White T's for the book. The conversation delves into the challenges and joys of writing, the importance of music in storytelling, and the emotional connection songs create. Rochelle also reflects on her background in the music industry and its influence on her writing. The episode highlights the depth and complexity of character development, the balance of presenting relatable, flawed characters, and the author's desire to provide readers with a fun, nostalgic experience. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3sIrJwLShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
