Pamela Watson lives in London, UK. She traveled to Australia for a nation-wide book tour just after the UK launch as COVID-19 was ramping up. One by one, her events were canceled, and the state borders began closing while she and her partner were traveling between events. They made the quick decision to turn around and barely made it back to Perth in time for shelter in place to go into effect. Along the way, they saw the attitudes of people change from welcoming to xenophobic. Pamela describes this adventure as well as the decision to host the remotest book launch in the world in this episode. Interviewed 22 April 2020.
