Welcome to the 46th issue of Reader's House magazine! We are thrilled to bring you another edition filled with literary treasures, insightful interviews, and a celebration of storytelling in all its forms. This issue is particularly special as we feature the remarkable Jesse Sutanto on our cover, a luminary in both children's and adult literature whose works resonate with humour, mystery, and familial depth.
Jesse Sutanto's journey from a crisis-ridden undergrad to a Master's graduate from the University of Oxford is nothing short of inspiring. In an exclusive interview, she shares how she found solace and purpose in creative writing, leading to the creation of her debut novel, Dial A for Aunties. This novel, a delightful blend of humour and mystery, is a testament to her ingenuity and personal connection to family dynamics. Jesse's background in film and television production adds a cinematic quality to her storytelling, making her narratives unfold like scenes in a movie. Excitingly, Dial A for Aunties has been optioned for adaptation into a Netflix movie, marking a significant milestone in her career.
In addition to our feature on Jesse Sutanto, this issue includes interviews with a stellar line-up of bestselling, award-winning, and exceptional authors. We had the privilege of speaking with Terry Overton, Marc Polett, Rebecca Victor, Glenda Mitchell, Joseph Seechack, Adebola Ajao, Brian Hathaway, Km. Taylor, R.C. Vielee, Denise Alicea, Mich?le Olson, Cordell Parvin, Don Hughes, Malcolm Welshman, Robert Emmers, Wayne English, Jeff Kelland, Anne Penn, Penny C. Knight, Wendy Zuccarello, Carina Steinbakk, Beth Jordan, and Bobbi Groover. Each of these authors brings a unique voice and perspective to the literary world, and their insights are sure to inspire and captivate our readers.
Jesse Sutanto's upcoming releases, including the final instalment of the Aunties series, The Good, The Bad, and The Aunties, and a dark suspense thriller, You Will Never Be Me, promise to push boundaries and offer fresh perspectives. Her dedication to representation and authenticity shines through in her work, leaving an indelible mark on literature.
As we celebrate the achievements of these incredible authors, we hope their stories and insights inspire you to explore new narratives, embrace diverse voices, and find joy in the world of books.
