If you've never had the pleasure of sitting down with Elly Griffiths, let me tell you: it's like opening the first page of a gripping mystery and realising, with a smile, that you're in very good hands.This year at The Harrogate Crime Writers Festival, I had the joy of chatting with the legendary author in none other than the Old Swan Library — a place steeped in literary history (yes, the same hotel where Agatha Christie famously vanished to). The couch? Not official. The interview? Absolutely brilliant.Elly Griffiths, bestselling author of the beloved Dr Ruth Galloway series, joined me to talk about her incredible 15-book run (and counting), her thoughts on character longevity, the evolution of crime fiction, and, of course, her impressive streak of 15 consecutive visits to the Harrogate festival.

We discuss chapters 7-8 of 'Decapitation' by NISIOISIN. Flex has discovered the true source of the famous author's power, and it's not pretty, or maybe it is. Through all the weirdness and clunk in the writing, NISIOISIN has left behind some interesting messaging, engaging hooks, and memorable characters. Where the series goes from here is anyone's guess, but somehow, it sounds like Flex and Herds actually walked away...enjoying this one? Anime next, too. We're also joined by LJM Owen, the Festival Director of Terror Australis Readers and Writers Festival, to talk about the impending 'Tassie Vice' weekend, which we'll be MC'ing! The program for this year also includes extended writing workshops and professional development in the beautiful Huon Valley.

This episode is amazing, and Bela chats with the brilliant, prolific author Amy Ferris (author of "Mighty Gorgeous, A Little Book About Messy Love).   Amy's life has been the most incredible journey, from watching her father get arrested (and then acquitted),  leaving home at 15 years old to go live on a commune (Jewish girls did NOT do that back in the day), lots of bad men along the way, and the connection to the RIGHT one (during the filming of a movie she wrote, directed by Anthony Minghella, and starring half a dozen Hollywood icons).    Amy is a fierce advocate for women, and for helping us to love EVERY SINGLE PART of ourselves.   You'll hear her best, grooviest advice, her love lessons, why people-pleasing is so detrimental, how to "Own Your Life", why "Self Love is Good Love is Grand Love is Love", and why we shouldn't waste time.
