Fellow Welsh author Evonne Wareham and I chat about our connections to Cardiff and shared interest in World War Two.

As ever it's a delight to chat to Carol Thomas and she tells me all about her latest children's book, which is a perfect Christmas gift for the smallest people in your lives.

Barbara Copperthwaite writes compelling and atmospheric psychological thrillers so we talk about how growing up in Lincolnshire has percolated into her work.
