What makes an author pick up a pen and write? What makes you pick up a book and find you can't put it down until the very end? Join Jane Caro, Heather Taylor-Johnson, Rachael Mead, Sarah Thornton, Nova Weetman and Emily Gale as they discuss how inspiration strikes them, their secrets for making a novel engaging and fascinating, and how they craft their page turners for us to enjoy.
