Talking Books 9 - T.A. Williams

Author TA Williams chats about his bestselling 'Cozy Mystery' series set in Tuscany featuring ex Met Police Detective Dan Armstrong and his faithful labrador, Oscar.

This week I get back in my car and travel to Oxford, home of Isis Audio, to chat with Catherine, head of all things audiobook related and the lovely lady who gives me work. We take a behind the scenes look at the birth of an audiobook and meet 'Barry' the most in demand narrator working today.

Hugely successful Urban Fantasy author Steve talks about his writing journey and what drew him to fantasy fiction. He talks about favourite characters, connecting with some of his author heroes and his latest novel, Blessed Odds.

Mark talks about his journey to becoming a bestselling author, his writing process, the importance of marketing and how to speak like a modern teen. Bruv/Mate/Innit. Oh and there's some karaoke too.

Where it all started for me. I talk to talented author and my good friend Louise Voss, who kindly persuaded her audiobook publishers to use me to record The Blissfully Dead back in 2015. Louise talks about why her latest novel 'Kerry Tucker Learns To Live' may well be her last.

Alice has written 26 books under her previous pen names but in this podcast we focus on her forthcoming novel; a wonderful family saga that brought a tear to my eye while I was recording it. We also take a trip down memory lane to the wonderful world of commercial voice overs in the 80's.

In this podcast we go out into the big wide world and explore the Somerset Levels where a number of Damien's novels are set. We chat all things Nick Dixon and end with a well-earned pint in a local pub!

Susi talks about her hugely popular novel which has just been reissued and gives us an insight into her writing process as she attempts to meet the deadline for the sequel she's currently writing!

Mike talks about the inspiration behind his best selling crime series set in London during the Blitz. We chat about his characters, the war, his process, his love of West Ham and his dislike of anachronisms!
