So happy to be part of the Northern Beaches Readers Festival for 2022

Posted @withregram • There’s never been a better time to celebrate the joy of reading.

Hi Rosemary here, with a brand new episode of The Book Podcast live tomorrow. Pamela Hart talks about her new book Digging Up Dirt, a funny, smart cosy murder mystery. We talk forensics, femurs and the why she dislikes the word feisty, and the fun she had writing this book. Pamela tells us how Fred Astaire influenced her last book The Charleston Scandal and reveals the question that bothers most beginner writers. Cassie Hamer talks about author collaborations and we discuss Cassandra Austin’s new novel ‘Like Mother’.

Our Book if the Month on the book podcast this week, Rebecca Starford’s The Imitator, a spy novel set in London at the start of WWII.

The Book Podcast is back!

Just received an email with my first recipient from the wonderful

Tuesday on The Book Podcast.

From the bestselling author of The Jade Lily comes a thrilling modern-day treasure hunt brimming with family secrets. Join me on Tuesday to hear Kirsty Manning talk about the real cache of jewels that inspired this wonderful story.

Do you have a writing question you’d like answered?

Reasonable Doubt by Dr. Xanthe Mallett.

Tomorrow on thebookpodcast.com.

The wonderful Sandie Docker has a weekly Book Bites video segment on Facebook and today she invited me to be her guest.

I inadvertently set my podcast to go out at 6PM instead of 6AM TODAY. Thank goodness @book_birdy let me know. It’s up now on thebookpodcast.com ,Apple podcasts and wherever you get your podcast feed.

Tomorrow on thebookpodcast.com Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
