Featured authors
I’m always fascinated to hear the story behind an author’s success and I have been fortunate to have the chance to talk to some terrific authors from all walks of life. Some of them I meet through Stories on Stage events I organise for an arts centre; others are recommended to me through their publicists.
Here’s a list of authors I’ve interviewed so far (you’ll find these insights as separate posts by searching for their name or going to categories/authors). Enjoy these snapshots!
