I first interviewed Canadian-born Ashley Kalagian Blunt in 2019 when her debut book 'My Name is Revenge' was published.

Since, Ashley has published a memoir ‘How to Be Australian’ along with other writing which has appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, Overland, the Griffith Review of Books and Kill Your Darlings, just to name a few.

Ashely also teaches creative writing and co-hosts the popular podcast “James and Ashley Stay at Home” - a podcast about writing, creativity and health.

And this year, Ashley can add another feather to her already-crowded cap, with the publication of her much anticipated crime thriller novel ‘Dark Mode’.

A compulsive, highly relevant and riveting book, 'Dark Mode' will have you guessing until the very end. A chilling insight into the dangers we face every day, 'Dark Mode' shines a spotlight on the darkest and most disturbing aspects of society.

An absolute must-read for all crime fiction fans.

I was thrilled to welcome Ashley back to the podcast a few weeks ago.
