I welcome the wonderful author Jennifer Bohnet to Talking Books.   Jennie lives and works in France now and her bestselling books, set in Devon and France, are wonderful escapism, taking the reader to beautiful places and into the lives of interesting women and their families. We talk about her latest book, the hard work of writing, good publishers and the joy of libraries and indie bookshops.

Hi and welcome to Talking Books - my regular radio show devoted to the written word in all its forms. I interview authors, poets, features writers, editors etc and anyone who supports their work. I am a  writer, researcher, proofreader and editor, published in national publications on the subjects of health (focusing on mental health), women's issues and social history. My book, 'Shell Shocked Britain: The First World War's legacy...' was published by Pen & Sword Books in 2014 and I am currently working on another commission by Pen & Sword books, due out in 2017. In my spare time I dabble in fiction and have my own imprint, Mickleden Press. These recordings were first broadcast on my radio show, Talking Books, on 10radio.org.
