I am excited to talk to fellow writer Holly McDowell on this episode of The Labyrinth. Holly McDowell is the author of “King Solomon’s Wives,” the brand-new serialized novel published by Coliloquy. In this exciting novel, the two thousand descendants of King Solomon’s ancient harem have the ultimate power of seduction: Their very touch is as addictive as any drug. But that power comes at a price: Wives die giving birth. They can only bear daughters. They are only fertile until the age of twenty-four. Hunted for hundreds of generations by men who crave their touch and fear its power, the Wives have kept safe by following three simple rules. A Wife shall have no meaningful relationships outside the clan. A Wife’s addictive touch may be used only for procreation or to protect the clan. A Wife shall sacrifice herself for her daughter at the age of twenty-four.
Holly chats with me on how her writing life brought her to Chicago, her connections to other writers, and she shares some of her tips and techniques on novel writing.
