Guest host Rachael Johns chats to West Australian author Anthea Hodgson about her new release The War Nurses.

Rachael is a regular guest host on Writes4Women, and a best selling author of more than 18 rural romance and women's fiction titles, her most recent being The Work Wives.

Anthea grew up in the wheatbelt of WA, surrounded by paddocks, wheat, sheep and her parent’s books. In a previous life she worked as a radio producer in commercial radio and at the ABC. Her first novel, The Drifter, was published in 2016, followed by The Cowgirl in 20018; both novels exploring generational farming, modern values, and themes of home and freedom from a cast of characters and countryside lovingly based on the small community of Yealering.

Anthea’s recent release, The War Nurses, brings the story of the 65 nurses of the Vyner Brooke, and the victims of the Bangka Island Massacre to a broader audience. She was inspired to honour her great aunt Minnie Hodgson, who died in the massacre, along with all the amazing nurses who were bombed, imprisoned, beaten and starved during WW2, and who survived, with great dignity, courage, strength and love.

Rachael and Anthea are actually 'work wives'–great friends and writing colleagues and in this episode they chat about Anthea's path to publication, the blending of fact and fiction in The War Nurses and Andrea's genre hopping writing life. It's a great, fun chat between two accomplished writers which both readers and writers will love.

Grab a cuppa and join Rachael and Andrea on the Writes4Women Convo Couch.
