Many of you know the wonderful Anna Loder, Sydney bookselling and event personality and champion of Australian writers.

For readers who want to read the books in order, I’ve listed my novels and non-fiction book in order by publication date for you.

I have wanted to ask my publisher, Anna Valdinger at Harpercollins Publishers Australia about her career for some time. Recently, I got to do just that!

This is a question I’m often asked when I give book talks. And I ask it of other writers too! Who can blame us - when we love a book, we are intrigued to know what was it that inspired the writer to create that particular story?
