Jennifer Givhan discusses her new novel, 'River Woman, River Demon,' Oct. 4 at the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore
In the years before she started writing her latest novel, author and poet Jennifer Givhan was not in a good place.
“I was just devouring these books because there were unstable female protagonists, and they weren’t being judged because they were telling their own stories. And I so loved that,” Givhan, 38, said during an interview from her home in Chula Vista. Eva drinks too much. She suffers from blackouts. She is haunted by the ghost of a dead childhood friend. And the events leading up to the discovery of the body on her property are murky, even to her.
Her spell-work may not or may not be enough to save herself or her family, but her presence could help correct an imbalance in the thriller-novel universe. Givhan pursued her inherited love of language in college, getting her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English from Cal State Fullerton and a Master of Fine Arts from Warren Wilson College in North Carolina.
