Tory Henwood Hoen took a risk, leaving behind her career as Creative Director of Brand at MM LaFleur to (finally!) pursue her dream of writing a novel. In THE ARC, Tory has created a brilliant, fresh novel that defies genre boundaries. It’s a love story with sci-fi, thriller and satire elements. She talks here about who finally inspired her to take the leap, who she’s most nervous about reading her debut novel, and what parts of the fiction are based on the truth.
