Welcome to our stories about stories We'd like to share with you an exciting journey of discovery into the crafting of a new novel, by a special author, Andrew Segal. He will be talking about his second novel, a murder mystery with an unconventional female detective and how he came to become a writer. Inside you will find fascinating behind the scenes stories about the evolution of this new book and the interesting people the author met along the way. PLUS you'll have the opportunity to listen to the latest interview with Andrew and an international podcaster Dr Shahnaz Ahmed, all the way from America. I am sure as a reader, you too will enjoy the process involved in the nurturing of a new book – you can do this by signing up to become what is known as a ‘Beta reader’. This is where we meet up to read a new book in its early draft form, so that you can pass your comments on to let the author know where you feel the story needs working on.
