- Loved your Margie Orford interview!
It inspired me to read the book which I devoured over the weekend. So resonant of the story of my, and so many of my friends’ lives.
And the creative tips - the dedicated space and the story board - are most helpful.

South Africaa year ago - Fascinating podcast about local authors
I’ve just stumbled across this podcast and so glad I did!
I listen to a lot of book-related podcasts but it’ such a nice change to have one featuring local writers. We don’t get to learn enough about our local authors and this really fits the bill!
And my TBR pile is groaning under the weight of every episode!
Thank you Fiona and Gail!
