Lisa Jewell Raced Through Writing Her Latest Novel

Jewell's novels, which include romantic and family dramas and psychological thrillers, can feel like hornets' nests pulsing with secrets. The 54-year-old has written 21 page-turners that have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide over the past 30 years and been translated into 29 languages, according to her publisher, Atria. Her next, None of This Is True, out in August, follows a successful podcaster in search of her next project who meets an odd, mousy woman at a restaurant and, at the woman's suggestion, agrees to interview her for her podcast. The podcaster then discovers that behind the woman's meek facade is a dangerous character with control issues - who may be trying to dismantle the podcaster's life.
