Diane Marie Brown, BLACK CANDLE WOMEN

Debut author Diane Marie Brown joins Zibby to discuss Black Candle Women, a propulsive, poignant, warm, and wry family drama with a magical twist about four generations of Black women, the secrets they keep for and from each other, and the family love curse that makes anyone they fall in love with die. Diane describes the inspiration behind this story (it involves many childhood summers spent in New Orleans) and the unconventional, twelve-plus-year path to getting it published. She also reveals her favorite books and authors, her best advice for aspiring authors, and what it was like to be the March 2023 Read With Jenna pick!Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46UUWUgPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46YtR2KSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
