PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - In this engaging and candid episode of Chapter Chat, bestselling author Eliza Knight joins us to discuss the unique challenge of releasing two very different books simultaneously: ‘Lost in the Summer of ’69′ and a gripping thriller published under her pseudonym, Michelle Brandon.

Eliza breaks down the creative process of switching between historical fiction and suspense, what she uncovered while researching Woodstock, and why exploring the reality of aging was central to her narrative.
