Multi-million copy bestselling author Anna Jacobs has published more than 110 modern and historical novels set in Australia and the UK. Yet at a time when many women her age are well into retirement, she is still working full-time to keep her two publishers and ever-growing international fan base happy with new releases each year. Anna is addicted to story-telling and figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. 

In this episode of Not the Plot, Anna chats with host Teena Raffa-Mulligan about her path to publication, her writing process, and where she finds the inspiration for this constant flow of new stories. She also has some sound advice for anyone who has dreams of becoming a writer.

Thank you for listening.
