On Thursday I was interviewed about my latest historical romance, Taken To Heart on Radio St Austell Bay. It’s a small local radio station serving about 25,000 people in an area of roughly seven square miles. Run by a team of enthusiastic amateurs presided over by station manager, Sheila Vanloo, it is the very best of local radio and there is nothing amateur about the quality of programming and production. My interview, which lasted about 40 minutes, was more of a chat. Sheila had read my book and her questions revealed genuine interest in both the story background and my writing career. There were a couple of breaks for some music and the news which gave me a breather, then off we went again. I was amazed at how quickly the time passed. Of course, as always happens, after I was on my way back to the car I remembered several things I could have/should have said. But I’ll save those for next time. Yes, I’ve been invited back. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and well worth the hour’s drive. This interview was the last arranged for publicising Taken To Heart. Once Christmas is over I hope to press on with my new one, Winds of Change.
