Beyond Words

Today we are joined by the oh so talented Helly Acton, author of the fabulous new romantic comedy, The Shelf. Set in the confines of a reprehensible new reality TV show, we see Amy dealing with the fallout of an unexpected, and very public break up. Be prepared to take a look back at your own relationship history as you follow Amy and her new friends/co-stars battling it out to decide who gets to be crowned The Keeper.

The Shelf was recently chosen as a Radio 2 Book Club Pick by Jo Whiley, and is available now as a hardback and on eBook.

Helly can be found via Instagram and twitter.

Today's episode was an absolute joy to record. I am joined by Kate Riordan, the author of The Heatwave, which has just been selected as a Richard and Judy Book Club Pick! This tense, gripping thriller set in the sweltering French countryside will leave you breathless.

Kate is also the author of several historical fiction novels, and you can find out more about her via her website, her twitter, or via her Instagram profile.

The Heatwave is availe now in paperback, and you can get your copy here.

Ever wanted to sit down with your favourite author and ask them about the book they wrote? Me too. That's why I created Beyond Words, a place for conversations with some of today's bestselling authors, talking about the inspiration behind the stories that they write.
