“Kristin Harmel is a powerful and dazzling voice in historical fiction.” -Patti Callahan, New York Times bestselling author of Surviving Savannah Author Interview: Kristin Harmel Your latest book, THE FOREST OF VANISHING STARS, is so intriguing. Inspired by incredible true stories of survival against staggering odds, and suffused with the journey-from-the-wilderness elements that made Where the Crawdads Sing a worldwide phenomenon, The Forest of Vanishing Stars is a heart-wrenching and suspenseful novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author whose writing has been hailed as “sweeping and magnificent” (Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author), “immersive and evocative” ( Publishers Weekly), and “gripping” ( Tampa Bay Times). But when she is betrayed and escapes into a German-occupied village, her past and present come together in a shocking collision that could change everything. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest-and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. About The Forest of Vanishing Stars: A NovelĪfter being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies.

Kristin recently took take out of her busy schedule to share thoughts on her upcoming novel, The Forest of Vanishing Stars. We have both written books set in vineyards and France, so I had the pleasure of reading her books before we met at featured authors at an Adventures by the Book event in January of 2020, spoke with readers, and explored the ship with a cohort of other authors.

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting New York Times bestselling author Kristin Harmel on the grand old vessel, Queen Mary, now docked in Long Beach.
