Tanya Scott talks about the leap from her day job as a GP and Medical Educator to becoming an author. Her novel Stillwater (Allen & Unwin) is a hell of a debut and hopefully heralds the start of many more literary adventures in the future. 

The Hollow Girl ((Penguin) is Lyn Yeowart's much anticipated second novel and as Lyn explains in the podcast it did come with some second book blues. Lyn discuses those challenges and the inspiration behind this very emotive and absorbing story.
