This week's guest Podcast on Indylive.radio is an interview with author Ethyl Smith, covering the first two of her series of books from 17th Century Scotland - the Covananters era.   Entitled Changed Ties and Dark Times, the books are written in Scots and in the interview Ethyl explains how and why she set about writing this particular series.  We look forward to covering the rest of the series in future podcasts.

Ethyl's books are available from Thunderpoint Bookshop, plus all the usual booksellers.  Her facebook page is @changedtimesscottishhistoricalfiction and you can contact Ethyl at [email protected] or by twitter @ethylsmith
