When asked if he had anything he would like to promote in this description, Chris said "Just the book... Listen to jazz, it makes you feel angry happy. Have children, they make you feel hopeful about the future. And listen to your own work along walks on the river. Those are my big three. And log off".

Jessy Wu's debut book, Good Intentions, tackles what she's learned through a vibrant career in venture capital, strategic communications, and being an 'irrepressible gadfly' according to the AFR. We chat about why she chose romance to tell this story of truth, power, and what it costs to do the right thing as well as what she thinks can be done about the future of journalism and what's next on her varied dance card.

My chat with Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Worry Doll, out now from Scribe Publications.

Worry Doll is a sapphic tale of desire, memory, and the delusion of love. It is also, as Laura alludes to, very creepy. I had to go outside and finish my copy in the sunshine because I was STRESSED.
