“Take a murder or three, then add a determined Scottish detective with an i-Kiribati mother and obsessive compulsive disorder, and you have the basis of a very different crime fiction thriller set in Tarawa in 2004.”
The other day I was invited to talk about Food of Ghosts with Heather Jarvis of ABC Radio (Australia’s national radio station. Here’s a link to the podcast of the interview, which was streamed last night. My first ever radio interview – yeh hey :)

Hi Marianne. A radio interview – how exciting! Just listened to it and you sound very composed – I’d have been so nervous.
Thanks, Wendy
I was nervous and afterwards I realised I’d not said half of what I wanted to because my mind went a bit blank. Just need to get on the Book/Culture Cafe or Women’s Hour now ;0)
Congratulations, Marianne! You did really well. And I enjoyed hearing your voice. That accent, eh? Anyone would think you were Scottish.
Thanks, Belinda. It occurred to me afterwards that my accent could be a bit a strong and that people at your side of the world would struggle to understand, but seems you did – phew ;o) x
Very exciting, Marianne!
Thanks
