Heart of Writing Episode 1

In this first Heart of Writing episode Pamela chats to Desney King, writer, editor, stroke survivor and author of the beautiful debut novel Transit of Angels.

After a varied career, working in editing and in palliative care, Desney began writing her first novel in 2008. After many drafts and revisions of the manuscript Desney was ready to seek a publisher when she suffered her first stroke in 2012. Since then she has suffered numerous strokes, severely affecting her mobility and hugely impacting her life. Largely confined to her bed, Desney makes occasional forays into the outside world in her purple wheelchair.

Transit of Angels was published in 2020 by Pilyara Press, and there are two more novels and a memoir in the works.

Desney has so much wisdom to offer about the writing process, morning pages, letting go when things get difficult and much, much more.
