#37 Talking about the story that haunts you with Justine Picardie
Justine Picardie is a journalist, novelist and memoirist and fashion biographer. Until recently she was editor of Harpers Bazaar magazine. I first encountered her through her publication of Before I Say Goodbye, a collection of pieces by and about her sister Ruth who died of cancer in 1997. We talk about how that book came about, and how fashion and family weave their way through all her writing, including her latest book about Catherine, the sister of Christian Dior.

#36 Talking about writing and illustrating with Thomas Taylor
Thomas Taylor started out in the 1990s, aged 23, by creating some of the most famous cover art in the world - more of that later. Lately, thanks to his Eerie-on-Sea middle grade series, starting with Malamander, he has become a successful international author in his own right.

#35 Talking about writing Christie and page-turnability with Sophie Hannah, Part Two
In part 2 of my conversation with Sophie Hannah we talk about her invitation to write for the Agatha Christie estate, picking up the career of Hercule Poirot. I love Sophie's description of her working day, and her advice on how to create a pageturner. As always, there's a lot here from the creator of the Dream Author programme for writers to learn from and think about.
