Manage episode 464098268 series 3428806
It's a Happy Birthday to 'The Conversation with Nadine Matheson Podcast.'🎉✨ It's been two years since our first episode with guest 'Scarlett Brade' was released.
To celebrate this milestone, this special anniversary podcast episode invites you to join me in marking two years of enriching conversations and my birthday. I'm thrilled to host the talented author Anna Mazzola, who navigates the intriguing shift from historical fiction to the gripping realm of legal political thrillers under the pen name Anna Sharpe and her new novel 'Notes On A Drowning'.
We explore the irresistible pull of writing within one's expertise, drawing from Anna's legal career to weave compelling narratives of justice. Our discussion uncovers the challenges and rewards of exploring a new genre, while emphasising the importance of celebrating small victories and the resilience needed in the writing journey.
Join us as we emphasise the power of self-validation, the resilience to face setbacks, and the joy of celebrating even the smallest achievement, offering a wealth of insights and inspiration for both writers and book lovers.
Notes On A Drowning
Alex knows she risks getting fired from her law firm if she takes on another unpaid case, but when she hears Rosa's desperate voice at the other end of the phone, she knows she has to help: the body of Rosa's shy teenage sister, Natalia, has been dragged, lifeless, from the Thames. Alex can't help but think of her own missing little sister. She knows how a lack of answers can eat you alive.
Kat has worked hard to become Special Adviser to the Home Secretary, and is eager to finally put the dark and tragic part of her past behind her. But when she discovers a series of cover-ups, she begins to wonder whether her seemingly perfect new boss could be involved. Then she's shocked to discover a letter that raises worrying questions about a girl found drowned in London... Natalia.
There are complex and painful reasons for Alex and Kat not to work together, but when it becomes clear that there are powerful
