EP 4: Clare Mackintosh

Clare Mackintosh is an author of Crime Fiction with a huge international reach. She has sold over 2 Million copies of her books. Her writing has been translated into 40 different languages. But it was her memoir that caught my eye. I met Clare at an author's dinner during the wonderful literary festival of Budleigh Salterton. In conversation with Cathy Rentzenbrink, I listened to her talking about I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This and was deeply moved by her story. When LIFE IS A LABYRINTH was in its early dream cycles, I knew that I wanted to have this conversation with Clare. I went for a walk before our chat and felt that I needed to write Clare a letter. So I did and I will read it to her at some point in the episode. We didn't prepare anything or brief each other before the live recording. We simply jumped straight in.

For this episode we met online. I was in Dorset and Clare was at home in North Wales.
