    Talking Aussie Books with Tania Blanchard

    Listeners, it was a joy to welcome one of my favourite Aussie authors back to the podcast this week. Tania Blanchard is an Australian, bestselling author whose skill as a storyteller has gone from strength to strength in the 6 or 7 years that I have known her.  From her debut novel ‘The Girl From Munich’ to her latest, Tania has cemented her place as an international bestselling author and a powerhouse in the historical fiction space.  I was thrilled to have the chance to chat with Tania about her the most recent career milestone, her 6th novel ‘An Undeniable Voice’ published by HarperCollins Australia.  A fascinating discussion and well worth the listen.

    Talking Aussie Books with Julie Bennett

    Julie Bennett is a Sydney-based author of two wonderfully rich, intriguing historical novels. 'The Understudy' published in 2022 and now 'The Lost Letters of Rose Carey' published earlier this year by Simon & Schuster Australia. Storytelling is in Julie’s blood and that first novel was the most magnificent story - taking readers back to Sydney in 1973, inspired by her own childhood as the daughter of an opera singer as well as the Sydney Opera House itself. ‘The Lost Letters of Rose Carey’ is another glimpse into yesteryear, offering us a page-turning, immersive and fascinating story inspired by a trailblazing Australian woman. I was delighted to welcome Julie back to the podcast recently to chat about her work.

    Talking Aussie Books with Christine Paice

    Christine Paice is the author of the incredible new novel ‘The Oxenbridge King’ which has just been published by HarperCollins Australia.  Listeners to say that this was a novel I enjoyed, would be an understatement.  'The Oxenbridge King' takes you back in time, giving you a glimpse into a by-gone era and ruminates on events we can only speculate about.  A clever, funny and at times heart wrenching story, this book is enthralling and intriguing in equal measures.  Inspired by the discovery of the bones of Richard III beneath a car park in England back in 2012, Christine has crafted a stunning, beautifully written novel that blends both fact and fiction in an utterly unique way.

    Talking Aussie Books with Petronella McGovern

    Petronella McGovern is the author of 4 crime novels and two non-fiction titles.  Her first book, Six Minutes - published in 2019 was an instant bestseller and was shortlisted for the Ned Kelley Awards in 2020.  The Good Teacher was next, followed by The Liars.  All masterful stories that examine the human psyche and what makes people behave the way they do.  Petronella’s latest novel - The Last Trace - was released by Allen & Unwin last month. And listeners, I would say, this novel is Petronella’s best yet.  A gripping novel about family, about DNA, secrets we keep, parenting, memory, cold cases and so much more.  Set between the snowy mountains of NSW and the USA, this is a complex, twisty story with a surprise at every turn.  An absolute page-turner from one of my favourite Aussie writers.  I was delighted to welcome Petronella back to the podcast recently.

    Talking Aussie Books with Lizzy Dent

    When Lizzy Dent’s new book landed on my desk a couple of months ago, I was excited. 'Just One Taste' (HarperCollins Australia) is a book with all the feels. Unforgettable characters, delightful romance, humour, food to salivate over and destinations to dream of. An homage to Italy and complete sensory experience from an Aussie author that global bestselling authors Emily Henry, Marian Keyes and Beth O’Leary will happily cover quote for.  I was thrilled to welcome Lizzy to the podcast recently to chat about 'Just One Taste'.

    Talking Aussie Books with Courtney Collins

    Courtney Collins is an accomplished author screenwriter producer and podcaster. Her first novel, 'The Burial' was published back in 2012 in ten countries and shortlisted for multiple prizes  - including the NSW Premiers Literary award and the Stella Prize. Courtney’s second novel, ‘Bird’ has just been released by Hachette Australia.  To say that this is a novel like no other I’ve read would be an understatement. It’s other worldly and yet so real in its exploration of themes that include misogyny and exploitation of women. Set between the Himalayas in an unspecified time period and Darwin in the present day, 'Bird' follows the story of a young girl who is determined to live life on her own terms.  It’s a story of resilience, hope and above all - a story about connection.  I was delighted to chat with Courtney recently about this wonderful novel.
