Manage episode 513360915 series 3307389
We're back! Our summer hiatus was a little longer than we planned, but we're delighted to bring you The Hobcast Book Show again. Our guest this week is Rhoda Baxter, queen of witty, heartfelt romcoms. She also writes as Jeevani Charika, exploring multicultural women’s fiction with depth and warmth. We talk about smart heroines, nice‑guy heroes, and the craft of writing under two names. A former microbiologist turned intellectual property specialist, Rhoda brings a unique perspective to her writing life—balancing science, creativity, and a love of cake. It's a truly inspiring interview.
Also this week, we hear how leading UK independent publishers have warned that they're facing an existential threat, and can you really publish a book that smells of mayonnaise?
