Welcome to Booky! The friendly, snob-free podcast for readers and for writers. Join journalist, writer and presenter Nicola Adam who will be asking authors from across the genre and geographical divides to share their ups and downs on their journey to publication. Plus a few tips for budding authors along the way. At the end of each podcast Nicola will share the latest news and opportunities for writers and book lovers.

On this episode of Booky Nicola chats to Katie Fforde who writes compelling women's fiction from her base in the Costwolds. Best-selling is an understatement for Katie, who is never happier than with a notepad in her hand crafting a story with a happy ending. Katie is an author who understands the years of rejection many writers face and is proof it is possible to find your way even if life gets in the way. As a result she helps others and is a fantastic advocate for those starting out in their careers. Katie's new book - Island in the sun - is out now.
