Writers Block Interviews: A chat with fiction authors across all genres about books and their writing process.
Diane Hester’s Hit and Run
Her first book Run to Me was snapped up by Random House and went on to final in the prestigious Daphne DuMurier awards in the US. Rightly so. Diane latest novel is just as fast paced, gripping and heart wrenching as her fist. I can’t wait for you to read Hit and Run.
Interview with Sandi Wallace
A couple of years ago I chatted to Sandi Wallace about her debut novel Tell Me Why, which introduced us to police officer John Franklin and Georgie Harvey, two kindred spirits who clash over almost everything. Here I chat with Sandi about her second instalment Dead Again.
Interview with Lisette Kristensen
Changing Lanes Interview with Lisette Kristensen I got to know Canadian noir writer Lisette Kristensen through an online author forum. From there I read her short novel Silent Running and loved the voice of main character Baleigh Burgess and the whole Sin City feel of the story. So when I found out she was releasing Read More …
Interview: The Three Miss Allens
The Three Miss Allens is a slight departure from the contemporary romance Purman has previously published. It uses a dual narrative, contemporary and historical, to explore how social mores of the 1930s South Australia exacerbates the fissures in the Allen family and the impact this has on later generations. Slip on your PJs grab some chocolate and be prepared to lose a day as you solve the mystery of the third Miss Allen.
Interview: No Job for a Girl
Australia is a unique country and rural Australia comes with unique challenges, particularly for medical professionals. Take that landscape, add a strong minded, independent woman and a male lead who challenges her and you get a touching story that draws you in and holds you until the last page. If this sounds like your type of fiction chances are you’ve read Meredith Appleyard. If you haven’t, you’ll soon want to. Meredith’s books are warm, thought provoking and very real to life.
Combatting Fear
Do you love a heroine who is strong, vulnerable and ready to fight for what she holds dear? That’s what multi-award nominated Sandy Vaile delivers in her high-octane, suspense-filled novels, with a twist of sexy romance. Anyone who follows this blog will know that Sandy Vaile is a close friend and the other half of our author roadshow “Suspense Sisters”. I’m thrilled to introduce you to Sandy and to talk with her about her latest novel Combatting Fear.
Lethal In Love: Interview with Michelle Somers
I first became aware of Michelle Somers when she stormed the 2015 Romance Writers of Australia awards dinner by winning Romantic Book of the Year with her debut novel Lethal in Love. Here we sit down to discuss murder, romance and writing.
How to Stop Ageing
Jenn J McLeod has become something of a regular on my interview list and chatting with Jenn is always filled with wisdom and humour–just like her books. I’ve read them all and was thrilled to get my hands on an advance copy of her latest gem The Other Side of the Season.
The novel slips between the present day, in which we follow Sidney and her search for her lost grandparents (plenty of mystery there, too), and the late 1970s when … Well, I’ll let Jenn tell you all about that.
Love and Deception
Interview with Tess Woods The Perth domestic airport in Western Australia is buzzing with travellers, the air filled with excited chatter, rollered suitcases and the grind of fresh coffee from the nearby Cibo café. Silhouetted against the huge glass windows those left behind watch as a plane takes flight. It was at this very airport Read More …
