    Helen Lowe Part4

    This final part of my discussion with Helen Lowe reinforces my belief that the fantasy writer is a master of words and worlds. We discuss what it takes to keep on track when writing, who has influenced her and how she's going to go forward. I'd like to thank Helen for using some of her precious writing time chatting with me in a chilly meeting room of a public library on a very stormy day. It was an absolute pleasure and I'm really looking forward to the publication of her fourth book in her Wall of Night Series! You can find out more about Helen at www.helenlowe.info Other authors discussed in this series are: JRR Tolkienn, Kate De Goldi, Patricia McKillip, Bernadette Hall, and Ursula K. Le Guin Proudly brought to you by Edition Audiobooks www.editionaudiobooks.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
