Marissa Stapley - THE LIGHTNING BOTTLES

Marissa Stapley - THE LIGHTNING BOTTLES

In this interview, I chat with Marissa Stapley about The Lightning Bottles, her musical muses for Jane and Elijah, including a road trip component in her story, how she approached writing about the drug use of the era, determining who tells the story and why she chose who she did, and much more.

Marissa's recommended reads are:

  1. Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
  2. How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang
