Pam's guest today on the podcast is contemporary fiction author Anne Freeman.

It's taken Ann Freeman half her life to heed the writer's heart that beats within her. But now everything she does is a step to that rhythm. A former award-winning miler promotional model, wander-luster, television extra, accessories designer, vintage market organiser, sales and marketing maven and creator of human life, Anne now chalks up her kaleidoscopic past to research and character development from her little take desk on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne, and writes contemporary fiction about women who are stuck in life and the extraordinary ways they shake themselves. They're always engaging and sometimes funny with reluctant adventures, sexy escapades, and friendships that uplift. Her debut novel Returning to Adelaide is out now with Hawkeye Publishing.

Join Anne and Pam for this Convo Couch chat about releasing a debut novel, the writing life, not waiting for the muse and feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
