My Life In Books with Red Szell

Laurie Gilmore is the author of the internationally best-selling Dream Harbour series of novels. Since the publication of the first book, The Pumpkin Spice Café, took Tik Tok by storm, Laurie’s success has continued with each new story, and she has now sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

The sixth book in the series, The Daisy Chain Flower Shop, has just been published, and continues Laurie’s trademark blend of whimsical, small-town romance with a dash of spice and a generous portion of seasonal flavouring.

This time it’s the turn of the unluckiest woman in Dream Harbour, Daisy, whose heart has been broken once too often, and her flower shop cursed by the town’s mayor after one of his infamous visons. But with the arrival of summer and a newcomer in Dream Harbour, might love, finally, blossom for Daisy?

Join Laurie and Red as they explore the delights of Dream Harbour, and the tropes that make romantic fiction the publishing powerhouse that it is.

Over the past four decades Patrick Gale has built an international reputation for writing beautifully crafted literary fiction that combines intimate character studies with broader social themes. His novels and short stories explore family relationships, forbidden love, identity, and the long-term impact of secrets.

His latest novel, Love Lane, picks up where 2015’s A Place Called Winter left off. It continues the fictionalised story of Patrick’s great-grandfather, Harry Kane, who was exiled from a privileged life in Edwardian England to eke out an existence as a homesteader on the newly colonized Western prairies of Canada.

Using boxes of letters that he inherited decades later, Patrick explores the impact of Harry’s long absence and eventual return to England in the 1950s, to piece together what his family left unsaid.

Join Patrick and Red as they explore the history of the homesteaders, prison life for those outside the bars, and double standards around sex and sexuality.

Growing up at Farmleigh, the grand country house built by his great-great grandparents outside Dublin, Arthur Edward Guinness was fascinated by the stories that surrounded the earlier generations of his world-famous brewing family.

In Guinness: A Family Succession he outlines the struggles and passions of his ancestors, who rose from humble beginnings in Kildare to the top echelons of Irish and British society.

It’s a tale of brewing genius, sibling rivalry, bounteous philanthropy, and astonishing social mobility, played out against a backdrop of seismic historical events in Ireland.

Kate Storey is a British author who writes books about books.

Her latest novel, The Last Page Café, centres around a book-club founded on the unusual premise, that its members choose their next title based solely on a reading of its last page.

But when a new member joins the group and suggests they each write their own happy-ever-after ending, it leads them to consider the extent to which they are the authors of their own life-stories.

Join Kate and Red as they discuss the joy of book groups and the power of storytelling to explore potential and change lives.

Chris Bridges is a British author and former palliative care nurse with a hidden disability. Both his experience as a healthcare worker, and his diagnosis, have inspired him to write thrillers featuring protagonists with chronic illnesses, turning the trope of passive suffering on its head.  His latest novel, The Death Bed, ramps up the suspense to Hitchcockian levels.   When nurse Laura arrives at her old friend’s death bed, it’s not out of compassion, it’s out of fear. Sixteen years’ ago, tragedy tore their group of nursing students apart and, knowing that the dying don’t always go quietly, Laura is there to ensure that the truth of what happened remains in the past.                                                                                         Join Chris and Red as they explore the psychological effects of illness on both patients and caregivers; and hear Chris reveal his unique path to publication.
