We get all philosophical about genre, discuss film adaptations (Elizabeth's Firebrand is out), whose books we wish we could have written, and best fan encounters.'

My podcast will reach 100 episodes later this month and to celebrate I invited back 16 previous guests to join me for different fun and casual bonus episodes. There are 5 or these such episodes; the first launches today and I’m joined by Elizabeth Fremantle (Disobedient; Firebrand/Queen’s Gambit), Amanda Geard (The Midnight House; The Moon Gate), Gill Paul (A Beautiful Rival; Scandalous Women), and Maggie Brookes (The Prisoner’s Wife; Acts Of Love And War).

The episode can be found on the podcast page of this here blog which includes the episode in a media player, links to various apps, and the transcript.

The rest of the schedule is as follows:

Monday 1st July: Alex Hay (The Housekeepers), Stacey Thomas (The Revels), and Lucy Barker (The Other Side Of Mrs Wood)
Monday 15th July: Elissa Soave (Ginger And Me), Chloe Timms (The Seawomen), and Jenni Keer (The Legacy Of Halesham Hall; At The Stroke Of Midnight)
Monday 29th July: Melissa Fu (Peach Blossom Spring) Amanda Geard (The Midnight House; The Moon Gate), Phillip Lewis (The Barrowfields)
Monday 5th August: Liz Fenwick (The River Between Us; The Secret Shore), Emma Cowell (The House In The Olive Grove; The Island Love Song), Ronali Collings (Love & Other Dramas/All The Single Ladies), and Tammye Huf (A More Perfect Union)

It has been an absolute joy making these episodes and I’m thrilled to be able to share them at last – the first two were recorded in January! I have to say a big thank you to Amanda Geard for giving me the idea that sparked the whole thing off – she suggested a party to celebrate and then I realised there were far too many people I wanted to include for one party to be sufficient. In truth I’d have loved to have done another three more but it turns out that my thoughts were correct and working to a weekly schedule is one heck of an undertaking when you’re a one woman band.

On that note, episode 100 itself, which is with Liz Fenwick, will be out on Monday 24th June. It’ll be a regular solo book conversation about her latest novel, The Secret Shore. The milestone episodes are essentially slotted in the weeks between regular episodes.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!
