    Cecelia Ahern (Part Two)

    We're midway through our stroll in Regent's Park with the international bestselling author Cecelia Ahern!  Cecelia tells us about what it was like to have her debut novel PS I Love You adapted into a film when she was in her early twenties. We chat about Cecelia's new novel, Into The Storm, which explores themes of unprocessed guilt, complicated female characters and the influence of pre-Christian rituals. It's a rather brilliant, suspenseful book and and you can get your copy here! Cecelia also tells us about dealing with panic attacks and how writing helped her overcome them, and her rather fabulous trip to The White House.  Follow Cecelia on Instagram @official_ceceliaahern Follow Emily:  Instagram - @emilyrebeccadean X - @divine_miss_em Walking The Dog is produced by Faye Lawrence Music: Rich Jarman  Artwork: Alice Ludlam Photography: Karla Gowlett  Hosted on Acast.

    Cecelia Ahern (Part One)

    Join Emily and Raymond in London's Regent's Park for a walk with the international bestselling author Cecelia Ahern!  Cecelia has a dog called Buddy, he's a standard poodle with a regal attitude, who is back at home in Dublin while Cecelia is in London working - but we think we need to plan a trip to Ireland because it sounds like he and Raymond would get on VERY well.  Cecelia grew up in Malahide with her sister, mum and dad - before her parents divorced. It was an unusual childhood, because Cecelia's dad is Bertie Ahern - the high profile Irish politician who went on to become Taoiseach!  We learn all about Cecelia's fascinating story - from when she attempted to get into Eurovision to writing her debut novel, PS I Love You at the age of 21 and the whirlwind experience of the book becoming a worldwide hit.  Cecelia's new book - Into The Storm is available now! You can buy your copy here!

    Bella Mackie (Part Two)

    Emily and Raymond are on Hampstead Heath with Bella Mackie and her labrador, Barney (who we can all agree is a bit of a national treasure)  Bella tells us about her love story with Greg James and how a childhood obsession with Victorian true crime started her on the journey to writing her million-selling first novel How To Kill Your Family. We also chat about being direct - and whether that can be considered as a compliment and unfortunately, one of Barney’s toys meets a watery grave… Listen to Emily and Ray’s first walk with Barney (and Greg James) from September 2022 here Follow Bella on Instagram @mackie_bella Bella’s new novel What A Way To Go is a gloriously funny and dark story about dysfunctional families in the shiny but cruel world of the extremely wealthy - you can get your copy here!

    Bella Mackie (Part One)

    This week we’re on Hampstead Heath with the brilliant author Bella Mackie - and her labrador, Barney!  Barney (aka Banana Head) is no stranger to Walking The Dog - he has previously appeared on this podcast with Bella’s husband Greg James! He’s a pretty special dog - and we were thrilled to take him out again.  Bella’s always had dogs throughout her life and Barney came into her life after she and Greg went to Battersea with the intention of getting a small dog… he may not have been what she wanted to get but it’s clear Bella loves Barney a hell of a lot.  Bella tells about her childhood in North London, how moderating an online comment board led to her to changing her name, and how running helped her to manage her anxiety and OCD.  Listen to Emily and Ray’s first walk with Barney (and Greg James) from September 2022 here Follow Bella on Instagram @mackie_bella Bella’s new novel What A Way To Go is a gloriously funny and dark story about dysfunctional families in the shiny but cruel world of the extremely wealthy - you can get your copy here!

    James Middleton (Part One)

    We’re in Berkshire this week with the brilliant James Middleton and five of his dogs: Mabel, Isla, Luna, Inca and Nala.  James *actually* has six dogs - but Zulu is currently staying with James’ parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, because Mabel is in season. But we had a lovely time with the fabulous five! We met on Bucklebury Farm - which is run by James’ family - and it was animal heaven. We met sheep, ginea pigs and even a friendly beehive at one point!  James tells us about his lifelong pining for a dog - and then his unconventional decision to get a cocker spaniel called Ella while he was studying at Edinburgh University - and then how she went on to change his life immessurably.  He also tells us the story of doing a reading at his sister Catherine’s wedding to Prince William - and how Ella helped him to overcome his anxiety.  Follow James on Instagram @jmidy  James' brilliant new book about the dog who changed his life is out now.
