In this final installment of interview with “Daughters of Nantucket” author Julie Gerstenblatt, we get a peek at her next novel and the very clever, and fun-sounding, way she’s dealing with the nerves that are cropping up as she writes about something she has very little firsthand experience with.

We talked about:

All the places she’s researching maritime history as she works on her next book, which involves a sailing trip to China

Her favorite books on writing and creativity

Creating structure for herself now that her kids are out of the house

Trying to figure out how to spend more time in her happy place, AKA Nantucket

The show and the books that are keeping her up too late because they’re just so good

Why she’s still listening to Disney soundtracks even though her kids are grown and flown
