Author2Author with Erica Ferencik

Bill welcomes bestselling novelist Erica Ferencik to the show. There is nowhere on earth Erica won’t go to take you out of your head and into the great wild world. An award-winning novelist, she writes adventure stories featuring women who brave not only internal struggles but face extreme challenges in their environment: remote forests, steaming jungles, and desolated icescapes. To research The River at Night, Into the Jungle, and her new thriller GIRL IN ICE, she ventured deep into the remote forests of the Allagash Territory in northern Maine, rafted the Amazon River in the jungles of Peru, and explored the desolate iceberg-packed fjords of Greenland. She is a graduate of the MFA program in Creative Writing at Boston University, and her work has appeared in Salon and The Boston Globe, as well as on National Public Radio.
