They say you should write what you know, and that’s exactly what author Luba Lesychyn did with her first novel, Theft By Chocolate. Based on a real-life, unsolved heist at her own workplace—the Royal Ontario Museum—the book gives the mystery a comedic and modern twist by having the crime be investigated by a chocolate-addicted amateur sleuth. Join Lesychyn for a discussion of the writing process and of the ways her time at the ROM inspired her literary work.
