A great plesure to catch up with John again who has just published his 5th book, 'Spring Days in Winter'. With a romantic theme, this is an intriguing spy story that will grab your imagination totally.

John tells me the basic story line, without giving much away, and how it all came about. Having read his previous books I can highly recommend this one.

Search for it on Amazon and enjoy!

A totally fascinating and inspirational chat with Katey about her expertise in coaching on how to handle toxic people.

We all know some right?! Katey tells me how she got involved with helping others cope, the signs to identify and why people are toxic towards others, and how to handle them too.

She has written 3 books and has some impressive clients, she's studied film production and script writing - worked on Harry Potter ! but concentrates on coaching people to cope and handle toxic people and encourage people to have better lives. I certainly learned a lot from our chat.

Always a pleasure to chat to John Michell about his latest book 'The Wind From New Jersey', this one's a real hit for sure!
John explains what's behind the book, including why he has included a storyline about stress and mental illness.
John has excellent advice for anyone thinking about writing a book themselves, invaluable words from an Australian expert!

About the book:
Framed against the Allied occupation of postwar Germany, the emerging Cold War and a classic English poem, The Wind From New Jersey is a story set in an era when mental illness was considered a sign of weakness. It traces the lives of two young Englishmen, the emotionally disturbed spy Daniel Lincoln and the narcissistic criminal Ronald Hunt.
The Berlin Wall of 1961 has curtailed Western espionage in East Germany. In 1964 Britain’s MI6 and the American CIA plot to rectify this. But MI6 has a secret agenda.
Daniel and Ronald become embroiled in separate but interdependent games of no-win Cold War cat and mouse. While all the while, as Daniel’s untreated illness rages, friend battles friend as much as foe.
A taut, stealthily seductive psychological tale of intrigue and human frailty, The Wind From New Jersey is a book perfect for lovers of gritty, edge of your seat espionage thrillers.

Available on Amazon - search for 'The Wind from New Jersey' by John Michell
