441: Lisa Timoney/Kate Storey/Naomi Williams - The Forgotten Book Club
Three authors who write in very different genres all wrapped up in the one package. Lisa Timoney writes family drama, Kate Storey writes books about books, and Naomi Williams writes psychological thrillers, but they are all the same person. As The Forgotten Book Club is released I talk to Lisa/Kate/Naomi about all her personas and why she keeps them separate. Plus as always we find new books in the RNIB Library.
