The Joy of Writing

What can you do when the love of your life disappears? Let’s find out…

This series of the podcast (series 2) is for listeners who want character-driven fiction that is true to life, who have walked the land of emotions, and would like to be reminded of them again.

I’m your host Mark Carew, author of two other novels, The Book of Alexander and Magnus, both published by Salt, an award-winning independent literary publisher in the UK. In each series 2 episode, I read a chapter of my novel, Beyond The North Wind, as we follow a Norwegian woman, Anna, on a journey to find out what happened to her missing husband Emil.

If you like adventure, romance, and mystery then this author-narrated podcast novel is for you.

We discuss several topics in this episode. How the act and art of writing books is central to Fiona's life. How her intuitive approach to writing translates into advice for her creative writing students. And how receiving fancy stationery as a present when young was an inspiration to write stories in the first place.
