Bernadette, who writes under - at time of recording - seven different pen names, shares some of her discarded projects including a novel about a cat in prison (not a children's book), a Jane Austen fan who meets a grisly end, and a historical tale of father/daughter derring do.

CAST: Emma Clarke, Shash Hira, Beth Chalmers, Noni Lewis, Marcus Hutton

Bernadette Strachan is the author of 28 novels published under multiple pseudonyms, including Juliet Ashton, Claire Sandy, Bernie Gaughan, MB Vincent, Alice Cavanagh and Catherine Miller, as well as her original publishing name, Bernadette Strachan. Her titles range from romantic comedies such as What Would Mary Berry Do? and Snowed in for Christmas to the crime-themed Jess Castle series.

She co-wrote the musical Next Door’s Baby with Matthew Strachan, staged at the Orange Tree and Tabard theatres, and also wrote About Bill, performed at the Tabard. More recently, under the name Catherine Miller, she created a trilogy of Archers prequel novels for BBC Books, later adapted for BBC Radio 4. In 2023, as Alice Cavanagh, she published The House That Made Us.
