T.J. Newman, DROWNING: The Rescue of Flight 1421 (a Novel)

Zibby speaks to flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T.J. Newman about Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421, a gripping new thriller about a plane that sinks with passengers trapped inside and the extraordinary rescue that ensues. TJ gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the world of flight attendants, from the rigorous training to the professional people-watching (both of which were rich sources of inspiration for this novel). She also talks about her incredible screen adaptation deals, her ideas for future books, and the unique career path that brought her to this moment (it involves Broadway, a bookstore, and writing on red-eyes).
