Conversation with Rozie Kelly - Author

On the Irregular with Java Bere

In this episode I talk with my dear friend and neighbour, the author, Rozie Kelly.

On a sunny autumn morning, Rozie and I headed out for a walk through the fields. We talked about about losing her dad in lockdown and how this time of enforced solitude helped her embrace her grief, and also, how Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured heavily in this process.

We talked about her soon to be published debut novel Kingfisher.

We talked about how the loss of her dad has impacted how she thinks about stories.

And she told me the best piece of writing advice she has ever received.

Welcome to my conversation with the wonderfully eloquent, Rozie Kelly

A gentle warning, this episode contains swearing.

You can find Rosie on instagram @rozeamee and her debut novel Kingfisher will be released by Saraband books in 2025
