Interview: J.P. Smith, author of The Summoning

Sep 23, 2021

THE SUMMONING, J.P. Smith’s ninth novel, revolves around a 9/11 widow whose daughter is in a coma from a fall after witnessing what appeared to be an accidental death. To make ends meet, she acts as a medium, reaching out and offering assistance to those who lost loved ones on that tragic September day. In this interview conducted by Michael Barson, Senior Publicity Executive at Melville House, Smith talks about why he enjoys creating fresh characters with each new book he writes, how he came up with the plot line for his latest psychological thriller, and why he had to make a last-minute change to the ending of his debut novel.
