Author Fiona McIntosh doesn't waste time. In 20 years she has published 39 books across the genres of fantasy, crime, children's and in the last decade or so, historical romantic adventure fiction.
Fiona is a marketer turned writer and this business experience shows. We talked about where her endless drive comes from, her highly successful masterclasses for writers, how she started her writing journey and how she finds her stories in all corners of the world.
She also happens to be my very good friend of nearly 40 years. We chatted about what makes us laugh, being mothers and our love of baking.
And she gave us sneaky taste of her two novels being released with Penguin in 2021, Mirror Man, and the Spy’s Wife.
It’s not all about the writing with Fiona though. In this episode you’ll discover a sharp business mind who doesn’t like to fail.
Enjoy my chat with the fearless Fiona McIntosh.
