With her first novel debuting on September 4th, author Emma Straub has sold her second book to Penguin’s Riverhead imprint. The Good Face will be published in 2014.

Here’s more from the author: “The Good Face is about the Post family, who readers may remember from three of the stories in Other People We Married. The book follows the Posts and their extended posse on a two-week vacation in Mallorca, Spain.”

We interviewed Straub about her promotional strategy for her book of short stories and learned the Twitter house swap research trip. Press play below to listen.
