I was so excited to do this interview with Cecilia. I am a fan of the Pitt, Greys Anatomy, Chicago Med and a bunch of other medical dramas. Not as much of a fans as Cecilia who literally wrote the book on it. Working as a Dr IRL has come through was inspiration for her. I have just received a copy of her first 2 books and I am confident there will be so much more from this talented new author.

I was really excited to put out this interview because I was the guest! It was a little topsy turvy to come in as a guest on my own show, but I really enjoyed the experience. Izzy, the sound girl was gracious and patient with me. I was focussed on limiting my nervous ticks throughout the interview as I am aware of how challenging that is to edit.

Ian is a kind and generous person who was one of the organisers of the Indie Author Bookfair event, and this is not the only one. Leschenault Press and The Book reality experience were front of mind during our conversation and it was so nice to hear what he had to say.

There is such a thoughtful and considered product with so many complimentary products that Vanessa has considered throughout her business that it is worth a serious look for small business people.

I am content to admit that I am a bit of a chocaholic. I can't really eat as much as I would have when I was younger... the minute on the lips saying seems to be literal after 40. So when I saw a book with Chocolate in large print it was like a homing beacon. Then seeing the title, I'd rather eat chocolate I was instantly curious. But there are secret depth hidden within the tale. It is certainly worth having a look.

This was not Natasha's first fair, she had an experienced air about her. Enjoying the comradery and making the most of the experience. Natasha knows what she wants and encourages others to follow their heart but make sure you do your research.

Parkinson Disease (PD) is not a new diagnosis. Within the community there is a vague awareness of the symptoms through celebrities like Michael J Fox, that have increased awareness. But there is so much more nuances to how people are impacted by this disease and this book, written by a professional in the field, really highlights the different levels of impact.

It is a wonder what we would do in this world without the people that we meet. It seems that David was encouraged to proceed with his stories by a friend learning many new tricks of the trade along the way.

The first time I saw a show about a Tattoo that took control of someone, it was when I was much younger and watching the X-files. I have since read several different narratives that had explored this topic in their own unique way and David has really levelled up with his approach. The Tattoo gains a life of its own and has a personality. I hope that you enjoy hearing all about it on the podcast.

Who would have thought you could incorporate a beer can into a raffle? Pete made sure that he published his collection of short stories 'Read my shorts' before the Indie Author Book Fair so that he could bring it along to the event. Small items from within the short stories were culminated into a raffle that he utilised on the day as an incentive to sign up for his email. I thought it was brilliant. The excerpt that I read for the minisode was one of his tales from this serie

Leading into the Otherworldly emergence we need to start raising awareness of the series and provide little teasers about what is coming with the series. The hooks for each of the stories and the development of the covers. At BCP we are trying to be transparent about out process and keep people who are interested in the loop with what we are putting together to share with the world.

While continuing to work in a FIFO role, Izzy started her side business of writing, prolifically. The two books pictures are the start of a 5 book series. The highly energetic writer was a blast to listen to on her interview for the Indie Author Book fair and the excerpt drew me into a world of intrigue, magic and a little sass.

Mark started to take writing seriously in 2019 and took the time to hone his craft and build confidence before releasing his first book in 2024.

Have you ever considered writing about something that you are uncomfortable with? Something that challenges your balance and makes you rethink the world as you see it? That is something that you do in literary fiction.

Khaiah is a girl who knows what she wants. She has had an amazing journey onto the creative path. It is not every day that people are lucky enough to meet their publisher through a competition.

Emily was a confident and gregarious participant. When I approached her for an interview she presented as professional and invested in her craft.
