Amy Stuart

My guest on this episode is Amy Stuart. Amy is the author of four bestselling novels, including her first, Still Mine, and her most recent, A Death at the Party, which was published in 2023. Her most recent book is Home and Away, a memoir by former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin, which she co-wrote with Sundin. That book was published by Simon & Schuster Canada in 2024, and was an instant #1 bestseller. Sundin’s fellow player Tie Domi said about the book that “it’s a treat to hear Mats tell his story after all these years.”

Amy and I talk about the very out-of-character way she landed the job of co-writing the Mats Sundin book, about the newfound attention it has brought her when she coaches hockey, and about the impact it has had on the way she thinks about her career as a thriller writer.
