Guest host Mary-Lou Stephens chats to fellow historical fiction author Julie Bennet about her second novel, The Lost Letters of Rose Carey. 

A former journalist Julie's novels are inspired by her experiences on stage as a child extra in the newly-opened Sydney Opera House (The Understudy) and now by her research into the life of 1920's movie icon Annette Kellerman. Set in 2024 and 1923 the dual timeline story is a stirring tale of mystery and romance about the 'million dollar mermaid'. 

Julie talks about the inspiration for the story and how she turned fact into fiction to create the character of Rose Carey. It's a great conversation between two talented writers of historical fiction.

In the intro Pam reveals all (well, some) about her recent Next Chapter Writing Retreat.

Grab a cuppa, pop on your walking shoes and enjoy the ep.
