Each week in Castaway Books, I talk to one of my favourite authors about the books which have inspired their life and influenced their writing.

I love the format for Castaway Books and really enjoyed talking to Deborah. She has such a gentle interviewing style which really encourages her guests to relax and open up. Lesley Kara
Castaway Books gives you the time and space to talk about inspiration and motivation which sits alongside our own personal journeys. Gerald Hornsby
A WONDERFUL show! Love every second of it! Kathleen Marple Kalb
A brilliant podcast that I was lucky enough to be a guest on recently. Deborah is a welcoming and professional host, that I immediately felt at ease and had a wonderful time. Lizzie Chantree
It was so great to connect with Deborah on Castaway Books and chat about writing and books. It was such fun and always fab to talk with a fellow author who understands all about the writing life. Kim Nash
