Fiona Davis, THE SPECTACULAR

Guest host Julie Chavez interviews New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis about The Spectacular, a thrilling story of love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of dreams set against the glitz and glamour of Radio City Music Hall in the 1950s. Fiona talks about the real-life Rockette who inspired this story and the extensive research required to make it come to life, from interviewing dancers to touring Radio City. After revealing some Rockette secrets, Fiona shares the location of her next book (it involves outlandish fashion and Egyptian mummies), describes what life has been like since her Parkinson’s diagnosis, and shares her best advice for aspiring writers.
