Have you ever found yourself at the crossroads of passion and profession, wondering if the risk of following your dream is worth taking the leap? Today I'm in conversation with  Ola Tundun, a writer who turned the page from private musings to public acclaim, to bring you an episode that shines a light on the raw, often untold stories of making it in the publishing world. From the emotional rollercoaster of securing a book deal to the courage required to surmount rejection and criticism, Ola's journey is a testament to every writer's battle with self-doubt and the pursuit of authenticity.

Ola Tundun's debut novel, Roommates, described as a sparkling  romantic comedy was released in 2023. Her second novel, Complicated, is out now:

Complicated
Ariella doesn’t want drama. Well, that’s too bad.

All she wants is to stay wrapped up in her grapefruit-scented love bubble with reformed playboy Caleb. But then her new boss turns up, the high-flying, high-maintenance Melissa, who has a mysterious history with Caleb.

Suddenly Ariella finds herself working miles from home, fighting with Caleb, and wondering where it all went wrong?

And just as they’re about to sort it out, real trouble comes knocking…
