S9 Ep8: Imagining the Past—Summer/Autumn Season—2025—Cecilia Rice in conversation with Leah Kaminsky, Sue Williams, and Alison Booth

How does an author's profession (outside their role as a novelist) inform their books? Cecilia Rice will explore with Leah Kaminsky (a doctor), Alison Booth (an economist and academic) and Sue Williams (a journalist) whether switching ‘right and left’ brains impacts their research and writing.  What led them to historical fiction? And what strengths or weaknesses do their 'day jobs' afford them as authors. Imagining the Past is commercial-free.
