Ep.22 | Raphael Farmer

So I had a total fanboy 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.

Ep.21 | AJ Betts

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. 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: www.instagram.com/ajbettswrites http://www.ajbetts.com/ www.facebook.com/AJBettsAuthor

Ep.20 | Josh Langley

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

Ep.19 | Alyssa Shapland

This was a very special interview for me, Alyssa is such an inspiration to me as she's a brilliant, beautiful writer but she also lives with Crohns disease which some days is too much to push through but other days, she absolutely kicks its butt and I love how real and honest Alyssa is about that. That honesty makes me feel stronger and okay about my chronic illness sometimes getting the better of me too. We chatted about her wonderful short story which has just been published on the "centre for Stories" website, the FABULOUS new book she's working on that I can't wait to read, what makes someone a "valid" writer, puzzles, staring in a Gym video, people watching and so much more. We're wearing purple here because we filmed this on "Wear it Purple Day" 2020, which is a day to celebrate and acknowledge LGBTQIA+ youth in Australia. I was particularly wriggly in this vid, I guess this is what I look like when I'm dealing with a bit of sensory overload (two interviews in one day) and during a high pain day. Alyssa was very kind to ignore it :-) Here's the link to read "Swift" centreforstories.com/story/journal-alyssa-shapland And the link to the "Girls With Guts" blog: www.girlswithguts.org And Ayssa's instagram: www.instagram.com/gameofcrohns14
