The Joy of Writing
What can you do when the love of your life disappears? Let’s find out…
This series of the podcast (series 2) is for listeners who want character-driven fiction that is true to life, who have walked the land of emotions, and would like to be reminded of them again.
I’m your host Mark Carew, author of two other novels, The Book of Alexander and Magnus, both published by Salt, an award-winning independent literary publisher in the UK. In each series 2 episode, I read a chapter of my novel, Beyond The North Wind, as we follow a Norwegian woman, Anna, on a journey to find out what happened to her missing husband Emil.
If you like adventure, romance, and mystery then this author-narrated podcast novel is for you.
