What happens when an accomplished law student, teacher, and mother pivots to a career in writing? Meet Rachel Wolf, also known by her pen name Rachel Blok, who shares her compelling journey from penning police procedurals to creating standalone thrillers. Discover how her maternity leave sparked a prolific writing career, allowing her to publish one book per year since 2018. We dive into the influence of COVID-19 on her work, her adventurous research methods—including an investigative cruise—and how these experiences shape her narratives.
Join us for an episode brimming with personal anecdotes, practical advice, Rachel's new novel, Five Nights, and the unwavering determination it takes to succeed in the literary world.
Five Nights
A POWERFUL FAMILY. A LUXURY CRUISE. A KILLER ON BOARD...
I recently married Mattia Scarmardo, head of one of the wealthiest - and most ruthless - families in the world.
I invited you on a five night voyage to New York aboard their glamorous new ship because I needed your help.
Someone in the family is threatening me, scared of the new wife who could steal their vast inheritance.
What I didn't tell you is that there would be a chance you would be targeted too. That what you did all those years ago would finally come back to bite you.
You came here to help me, but you don't know the whole truth.
And now we're trapped on a boat with a murderer.
