Release date is getting closer so yesterday I paid a visit to Media City in Salford to talk to Becky Want on BBC Radio Manchester about A Wager for the Widow.
Flattering photo on my ID card.
I had a case of nerves before I went on air and I’m not sure the coffee helped but I enjoyed sitting in Costa beforehand and trying to work out if the man at the next table was famous.
This is the interview. I haven’t listened to it all as I never like hearing myself but I think it went well. I managed to remember the names of the characters (thanks to a crib sheet) and had a fun time. Becky was a great host.
My friend very kindly (and cleverly because I wouldn’t know where to begin) recorded the interview as an MP3 for me.
I love the area round the quays and for a change the weather was nice enough to go for a wander around. The views from the multi-storey are great, taking in most of Salford and outer Manchester.
BBC one side. ITV the other. I wonder if the staff give each other hard stares as they look out of the windows?Fabulous view from the car park.
Elisabeth’s writing career began when she entered her first novel into Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest in 2013 and finished in third place. She was offered a two-book contract and hasn’t looked back. Since then she has published six Medieval romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon and doesn’t have any plans to stop!
Elisabeth works as a Primary teacher but she’d rather be writing full time because unlike five year olds, her characters generally do what she tells them. When she isn’t writing, she spends most of her spare time reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book. She loves historical fiction and has a fondness for dark haired, bearded heroes.
Elisabeth enjoys skiing, singing, and exploring tourist attractions with her family. Her children are resigned to spending their weekends visiting the past. She loves hot and sour soup and ginger mojitos - but not at the same time!
She lives in Cheshire with her husband, two children and two cats with ridiculous names because the car broke down there in 1999 and she never left.
