In this episode, we’re joined by Donna Ashcroft and discuss how she made the jump from publishing to becoming a full-time author, why she loves writing feel-good romantic comedies, and where she comes up with the ideas for her books. We also spend the majority of the conversation chatting about her latest book, A Very Italian Wedding, which tells the story of how Rose and Ben travel to Italy for the wedding of their best friends, encounter numerous hilarious situations, and ultimately fall in love. We discuss why she likes to include multi-generational characters in her books, how she came up with the extremely memorable side characters of Aurora and Aldo,  and what she plans to write next.

• A Very Italian Wedding
• A Christmas Romance in the Scottish Highlands
