(CHOP-FM is based at Pickering College.) Gary asked Kathleen about her writing process. He also asked Kathleen if she based “Sarah Morris” on her own personal experiences and whether the issues raised in the novel—which was set just after the 2008 recession—are still relevant today. The interview was broadcast in February 2025. To hear Kathleen’s interview, click on this link:
