\"\"On January 29, I posted Parts #1 and #2 of an in-depth interview with podcaster, and audiobook creator Stephanie Frewen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The interviews appear in Season 2 of Stephanie’s popular podcast series, The Author\u2019s Tale<\/a>, which comprises \u201ccasual conversations \u2026between Stephanie\u2026 and prominent and influential New Zealand authors\u201d<\/em>, centered on inspiration, influences, and other aspects of their writing lives.<\/p>\n

I also promised to bring you Part 3 once it posted, but that, as it turns out was my error: it’s parts #3 and<\/em> #4. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Followers of The Wall Of Night<\/a> series will be pleased to know it’s the primary focus of interview #3:<\/p>\n

The Author’s Tale: Helen Lowe in Conversation with Stephanie Frewen — Part 3<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whereas #4 is centered more on my writing process and philosophy, chiefly with the novels but including a brief discussion of a short story, Red Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Author’s Tale: Helen Lowe in Conversation with Stephanie Frewen — Part Four<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you missed the first two instalments, Part 1<\/a> discusses influences, my early writing journey, and my poetry, in particular. Part 2<\/a> concentrates on Thornspell<\/em> and the initial journey to publication for my novels, including finding an agent and the role she then played.<\/p>\n
