Chatting about my favourite things - historical fiction, writing & research
Since releasing Fables & Lies, I’ve been lucky enough to be interviewed on a few podcasts with more lined up in the coming weeks. I’ve learned to overcome my nerves (most of the time) especially when the interviewer asks me about writing, and of course, my love history and research!
Each podcaster has a different slant. Enjoy catching up – take your pick!

Good Reading Magazine is one of the premier literary magazines in Australia which is now celebrating its 25 year anniversary. Greg Dobbs runs the Good Reading podcast with book talk and author interviews to help you discover your next favourite read.
I chatted with Greg about why different interpretions of history ensures it is never neutral and can be twisted to serve power – along with some insights into my characters in Fables & Lies.

Drop in to the Clan Destine Café – the podcast for writers, readers and creators. An inclusive, informative and silly place where we talk all things writing and publishing with our favourite genre authors. And believe us – between us – we know just about everybody!
I enjoyed ordering a virtual latte before having a chinwag with Jacq and my BFF and fellow historical novelist, Greg Johnston, about about all things writing and historical!
Greg has written three historical novels with his most recent release, For A Moment More, exploring the medical breakthrough in the 90s for managing HIV/AIDS – a tender, warm and heartbreaking novel with a dash of wicked humour.
BTW – I’m also known as Lisa – my doppelganger is a pediatrican in Tennessee!
