Katie Tallo has been an award-winning screenwriter and director for more than three decades. After winning an international contest for unpublished fiction, she began writing novels, including Dark August and Poison Lilies.
She has a daughter and lives with her husband in Ottawa, Ontario.
Tallo's new novel is Buried Road.
Recently I asked the author about what she was reading. Her reply:
Wayne Ng’s Johnny Delivers. I'm absolutely loving this rollercoaster of a mystery. Can’t wait to get back to it every time I have to putVisit Katie Tallo's website.it down. It’s wonderful, charming, funny and fast-paced. Dripping with 70s nostalgia, it’s as much an action-packed thrill ride as it is a poignant, funny, nuanced story about a Chinese teenager coming-of-age amidst complicated family dynamics. Equal parts naïve and wise, scared and brave, Johnny finds comfort in imaginary heroes like Atticus Finch and Bruce Lee, but Ng skillfully transforms Johnny into the real hero of the story. I’d recommend it for readers of all ages.
