Lifestyles of the rich and the famous have made the bulk of writer Juliet Izon’s work as a compiler of celebrity homes, profiles, and kitchen tips for big-name pubs like Architectural Digest, The New York Times, and Gotham. Now, she’s penning about fictional talents with her debut novel, a years-spanning exploration of talented musicians chasing each other and their dreams with uncontrollable ambition. First Light hosts the NYC/Hudson Valley-based writer for a Q&A with Austin’s Andrew Forrester (How the Story Goes), where the two will chat “ambition and reinvention.” – James Scott
