Obsession, AI, and writing with Laura-McPhee Browne, author of Worry Doll
My chat with Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Worry Doll, out now from Scribe Publications. Worry Doll is a sapphic tale of desire, memory, and the delusion of love. It is also, as Laura alludes to, very creepy. I had to go outside and finish my copy in the sunshine because I was STRESSED.
