‘Catalyst Sessions’ recap: Lori Roy

On Friday’s edition of The Catalyst Sessions, novelist Lori Roy provided insights on her writing process, her personal history (she was an accountant before penning Bent Road, the first of her five books), the importance (to her) of the Eckerd College Writers in Paradise workshops, and what is feels like to be photographed for Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine.

Much of the conversation was devoted to Gone Too Long, her acclaimed 2019 thriller, the story of a Georgia family living – or attempting to live – with a deep, dank secret. The shadow of the Ku Klux Klan lingers on every page of the Southern gothic thriller, set in a backwoods Georgia town.
