Write-on with Riley Riley Writes

I was absolutely thrilled to interview Anna Whateley! In this nearly 40 minutes long interview, we chat about; gaming worlds, being autistic and awesome, Peta Lyre's Rating Normal and a bunch of other cool things!

Anna and I both had so much fun during this interview! She's such an inspiration to me, so I hope you love watching this as much as we loved  doing it. She also has oodles of fabulous advice for young writers too!

So I had a total fanpeep moment at the beginning of this one but managed  to pull myself together and seem almost sort of professional  eventually... but he's so cool!!  

We talked about his short stories, Firefly, Carried away and Island Boy,  which are all awesome and we also talked about video games, gay love  stories, comic books, that time he met Tom Felton and his migration from  Mauritius to Perth.

I was a little (okay a lot) start struck during this interview But AJ is  just so humble, kind and funny, so we had a lot of fun, some of my  questions were a little tough, but it was all in good fun. This was  definitely a career highlight for me.   

We chatted about cycling around Europe, the ups and downs of book tours,  the concept of "good vs evil", characters in her books that we love but  would hate to meet and SO MUCH MORE.  

This is random, but if you know what this book is, please let us know:  It's a picture book from a few decades ago, it features a king from a  faraway land and a ticking cake which everyone thinks is a bomb but it  turns out it's just a ticking cake?  

Also; PSA: Don't ever give this woman a boring ice cream, she deserves  an epic ripple and crunchy stuff in it!  Here's some links to check out AJ's awesomeness:

How awesome is Josh Langley!   His newest book "Magnificent Mistakes and Fantastic Failures" was  launched right at the beginning of the pandemic but is thankfully, now  getting out to families. I have a copy and LOVE it!  We chatted about using kindness as a super power, building residence,  setting our fear to the side so we can be ourselves and other important  things like drawing poop for a living while other people have to work,  flowers, pasta and of course; ice cream.   Here's the link to our interview from last year in case you missed it  and some links to stalk, I mean check out Josh Langley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7SRVP6iyZo www.facebook.com/joshlangleywriter https://joshlangley.com.au/ www.instagram.com/joshlangleyauthor
