\"\"During 2023, interviewer, podcaster, and audiobook creator Stephanie Frewen<\/a> interviewed me for Season 2 of her popular podcast series, The Author’s Tale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Author’s Tale comprises “casual conversations …between Stephanie… and prominent and influential New Zealand authors”<\/em>, centered on inspiration, influences, and other aspects of their writing life.<\/p>\n

The conversation was indepth, so will appear as three interviews—and the first two parts are currently live:<\/p>\n

The focus of Part 1 is on influences, my early writing journey, and my poetry:<\/p>\n

The core of the second is Thornspell<\/em> and the initial journey to publication for my novels, including finding an agent and the role she then played:<\/p>\n

As Stephanie explains in her introduction, we met on a very wild Christchurch day. My recollection, though, is that although the great outdoors was stormy, the conversation indoors was warm and convivial, so I hope that comes through. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

And, of course<\/em>, I’ll post the link to third interview, which centres on The Wall Of Night<\/a> series, once it’s live.<\/p>\n
