In this episode Katherine and Kate talk feelings. Katherine looks at Goodreads and she's not happy. Will it feel like this forever? How do you ride the wave of post-release adrenaline? What does it feel like when everyone says nice things? And what if they say nothing at all?

Then, in a super special double episode, Kate interviews writers Annabel Smith and Jane Rawson on, well, everything, really. There is talk of first times, how not to stuff up a writers festival gig, why Twitter is like a party, how a writing community works, why they've hit a nerve with their blog series and SO much more.
