For Sunday Times Bestselling author, Erin Kelly, every book launch feels like stepping into the spotlight for the first time, each page a new opportunity to captivate an audience or fall flat. This episode is an expedition through the complexities of authorship, examining the delicate equilibrium between the creative spirit and the unforgiving marketplace. Together, Erin Kelly and I uncover the ambitious path of securing book deals, confront the stark realities of writers' earnings, and celebrate the tradition of mentorship that binds the community of storytellers. Erin Kelly's debut, The Poison Tree was an instant Sunday Times Bestseller, became a major ITV drama and was a Richard & Judy Summer Read in 2013. Her tenth novel, The House of Mirrors, the sequel to 'The Poison Tree' is available now.

Karen has kept what really happened that summer of '97 hidden deep inside her. Alice is keeping secrets of her own. But when anonymous notes begin to arrive at Alice's shop, it seems the past is about to catch up with them all ...
