Sweet Delights: Mary-Lou Stephens on writing The Chocolate Factory

Mary-Lou Stephens talks to host Pamela Cook about her second historical fiction novel, The Chocolate Factory. As the title suggests it's a tale of intrigue and romance, woven into the factual story of the beginnings of the Cadbury chocolate factory in Tasmania. Mary-Lou talks about the inspiration for the novel, the pressures of writing 'the second book', research rabbit holes and bringing her characters to life on the page. Pam also delves into Mary-Lou's writing process, particularly now she's on the road, slow travelling around the world. In the intro, Pam discusses the issue of narrative perspective and writing in deep point of view.
