Debut Author Lauren Wilson on Obsession and the Cult of Influence in THE GOLDENS
Description
In this episode of Killer Women Podcast, Danielle Girard welcomes debut author Lauren Wilson, whose intoxicating thriller The Goldens is already making waves. They dive into the creative journey behind this fever-dream debut—how Lauren wrote (and rewrote) her way into publication, what inspired the chilling allure of influencer Clara Holland, and why the dark side of reinvention, especially among young women, feels both timeless and terrifying.
Set in a glittering world of influencers, lavish parties, and dangerous friendships, The Goldens asks: what happens when ambition meets obsession—and who are we willing to become to belong?
If you love thrillers dripping with atmosphere, danger, and glitter, The Goldens is your next obsession—and this conversation is the perfect place to start.
Lauren Wilson has a degree in journalism and an MA in creative writing, both from Northumbria University. She previously worked as a freelance radio reporter and for Mslexia, a magazine committed to championing women’s writing. The Goldens is her first novel.
