Sacha Hughes Love, Grief & More Sex Than Pinot, Healing Through Writing,

In this episode I'm talking to Sasha about her debut novel

Writing became a therapeutic healing process processing 20 years of grief allowing her to  being able to let go of the pain which she described as a phenomenal godsend and therapy.

We also discuss self-publishing and the flexibility that it gives to being able to keep the story authentic. Sasha is already well on the way to completing her second novel.

This is a great chat which is deeply informative.

Sacha Hughes graduated from the University of Sheffield with a degree in Business

Studies before spending a decade working in financial services recruitment in London.

Her debut novel, Love, Grief & More Sex Than Pinot, draws inspiration from her personal

experiences navigating love, loss, and identity in her mid-to-late twenties.

She now writes from her kitchen table in Poole, Dorset, fuelled by strong coffee, daily

meditation, Common Roots cacao, and the occasional pinot grigio shared with close

friends. Sacha lives with her two children, Rose and Cato, and their black-and-white cat

Pickle — recently joined by a mischievous black kitten, Zuma, who has enthusiastically

appointed himself Chief Editor.
