In episode 120, bestselling author Michelle Prak discusses how she set her latest thriller against the backdrop of Australia's housing crisis and why she writes flawed, sometimes rash characters.

She also reflects on how growing up in a lower socio-economic home influenced her love of reading and her ambition to be a writer, and also how it delayed her efforts to make that dream happen.

Michelle Prak is a professional communicator with a thirty-year career in PR, social media, and politics. She lives in Adelaide and teaches communication subjects at the University of South Australia. Her bestselling debut thriller The Rush was published internationally in 2023. Barren Cape is her second novel.
