Jennifer Givhan | 20 Questions: RIVER WOMAN, RIVER DEMON
Author Guest / October 6, 2022

1–What is the title of your latest release? RIVER WOMAN, RIVER DEMON 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When Eva’s husband is arrested for the murder of a friend, she must confront her murky past and embrace her Magick to find out what really happened that night on the river. RIVER WOMAN, RIVER DEMON is a psychological thriller that weaves together the threads of folk magick with personal & cultural empowerment. At its haunted heart lies a mystery and ghost story, with dark magical realism woven throughout. With deep characterization, domestic suspense, and an unreliable female protagonist, this is my Chicana Girl on the Train. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I grew up in the desert on the Mexicali border of Southern California, then moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I raised my children and did most of my mothering work, so it’s a natural extension of my themes and characterization of my novels that they take place in the places that raised me. The desert communities I write about remain a magical and potent place of inspiration for my stories. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life?…
