Conversations with the Fat Girl

I had the privilege to interview the author Liza Palmer yesterday. She just published her first novel, Conversations with the Fat Girl. We met up at a coffee shop in South Kensington and talked about many things - among them how long it takes her to write a book, what advice she would give other budding artists, how she feels about the market.

I can't give away too much since I'm supposed to be writing up her interview for a magazine story to be published in September, but I can say I was awed and inspired by how incredibly encouraging she was of other writers. She lacked that negative competition bug I see in so many of my compatriots. She actually wanted to end our interview so that she could ask me about my own work.

So, please consider picking up her novel at your local bookstore. You'll be supporting a good egg.
