    Talking Aussie Books with Rebecca Armitage

    In this final episode for 2025, I'm talking to a debut Aussie author whose book is being touted as one of the biggest releases of the summer.  If you loved Netflix’s The Crown and devoured all the drama when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from the royal family and have wondered what that might have looked like behind the scenes, then this is the perfect book for you.  It’s been released simultaneously here, the UK and the US and is already enjoying some incredible notoriety in the early weeks following publication.  The book is ‘The Heir Apparent’ by Rebecca Armitage - a Tasmanian author and ABC journalist - who, it will not surprise you to learn, has reported extensively on the royal family in the course of her work. After positively inhaling the book , I am in awe of Rebecca’s immense talent and am more than a little thrilled to have had the chance to chat for the podcast recently.

    Talking Aussie Books with Michael Burge

    Michael Burge is an author and journalist who lives at Deepwater in the New England region of NSW. His debut novel ‘Tank Water’ was inspired by old family stories and explores the shameful legacy of unsolved gay-hate crimes, set in a fictional rural community - not unlike the place Michael calls home.  ‘Dirt Trap’ is a follow-up to ‘Tank Water’ - though it can be read as a stand alone.  A brilliant example of the rural noir novel Australians have come to love in recent years, but with Michael’s unique angle exploring the complexity and diversity of Australian country towns.  A tense, compelling and rich story, 'Dirt Trap' is about one man’s dogged pursuit of justice and a town having to come clean of generations of secrets.  Without a doubt - a five star read! And was delighted to welcome Michael to the podcast recently to chat about his work amongst many other things.

    Talking Aussie Books with Pamela Cook

    The last time I chatted with Pamela Cook for the podcast was back in 2019 - to celebrate her self-published release 'Cross My Heart'. Six years later and 'Cross My Heart' is being re-released by Vinci Books and I took the opportunity to talk to Pamela about her journey from traditional published author, to indie publishing and back to traditional and the lessons she's learned along the way. An illuminating discussion about the highs and lows of the writing life and what happens if you keep writing and stay open to new opportunities. I loved this chat and hope you will too.

    Talking Aussie Books with Brooke Crawford

    Brooke Crawford is a Melbourne based author of the terrific debut novel ‘Better Than the Real Thing’ published by HQ Fiction. Described as ‘Notting Hill’ meets ‘Bridget Jones’ Baby’ this novel is smart, pacy, funny, drama filled and utterly romantic.  I can’t recommend it highly enough!! The perfect summer read and one I suspect will be filling Christmas stockings around the country before too long.  I enjoyed a wonderful chat with Brooke about her wonderful novel for the podcast recently.

    Talking Aussie Books with Fiona McKenzie Kekic

    Fiona McKenzie Kekic's debut novel ‘Eva Reddy’s Trip of a Lifetime’ was published by HQ Fiction earlier this year and what a cracker novel it is! A tale about one middle-aged woman’s quest to get back to the person she knew she could be. A literal and figurative journey set between Sydney and India that had me laughing out loud. Funny, insightful and heartwarming, this is a book you'll want to rip through at breakneck speed, but which should be savoured and appreciated like a wonder tour. A terrific debut from a truly talented story teller.
