What if? Two simple words that can unlock a world of stories. Throw in a few more questions, examine your ideas from different angles, and you can really come up with a compelling story. That's certainly the approach taken by our guest this week, Alison Stockham, a Cambridge-based author of psychological fiction. Her debut novel, The Cuckoo Sister, was a break out success. The premise is simple and compelling. You want the best for your sister, but what if that sister wants what you have - especially your children? With her second novel, The Silent Friend due out later this month, it's a great time to speak to Alison about her approach to generating ideas. We also discuss what she's learned from her involvement in the Cambridge Literary Festival.Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca on the three years since they first published The Rock series by Robert Daws, and ask if crowdfunding is the future of independent publishing.https://www.amazon.com/Silent-Friend-unputdownable-psychological-bestselling-ebook/dp/B0C1FY8PBFhttps://www.amazon.com/Cuckoo-Sister-Alison-Stockham-ebook/dp/B09YTJ48YQ Hosted on Acast.
