Welcome to Book Club in the Pub, the podcast where we discuss your favourite books with your favourite authors. Joining us for our first EVER episode is none other than YA Fantasy icon CHLOE GONG. Pull up a chair, the drinks are on the house!

Chloe Gong is a writer at the top of her game. Her first novel,These Violent Delights, debuted at the number one spot on the New York Times Bestseller list. She was twenty-one. Ever since, her novels have gone from strength to strength and her latest work is no different - Coldwire is a strong pivot into the dystopian, arguably a genius move at a time when real life has started to feel a little too Orwellian...

Join Esmie and Chloe in the pub as they talk about tech billionaires, the bravery of young novelists, how to write a truly strong female character, and SO much more.

Not to mention, Chloe finally addresses the question on everyone's minds: can she actually tell the future?!

This weeks' theme is CYBERPUNK and ANARCHY. Cheers!🥂
