Holly Brunnbauer is a Victorian based, multi-award winning emerging fiction author whose debut novel 'What Did I Miss?' was recently released by HarperCollins Australia. An absolutely delightful kind of coming of age novel with humour and heart that will leave you wanting more. It was an absolute joy to welcome Holly to the podcast recently to talk about her journey to publication and her inspiration for this memorable story.

A novel set between the Swan Valley and the Margaret River - two wine growing regions of WA - 'The River Whispers' centres around a tragic accident and its deadly aftermath.

Talking Aussie Books with Karen Brooks
I may not have previously shared with my podcast listeners that I'm a huge whisky fan! I love learning about it and have travelled extensively to sample different whiskies. So when I learnt Tasmanian-based author Karen Brooks not only co-owns a brewery/distillery in Hobart where they make their own spirits - including whisky - but has written a book about whisky, I knew I had to chat with her. 'The Whisky Widow' (published by HQ Fiction) is an incredible, sweeping tale about whisky and those involved in its production during a tumultuous period of Scotland's history. And I simply adored this chat with Karen for the podcast recently. If you love whisky (or the idea of it at least), you will enjoy this episode.
