Talking Aussie Books with Sal Gallaher

Listeners, if you tune in regularly, I’m sure you appreciate that I read eclectically and I’m fascinated by how books come into being - whatever path that happens to take. Indie or trad, I’m interested in it all. So when my fellow writer and friend, Sal Gallaher took the plunge and decided to self-publish her debut, I was keen to have a chat about it. Sal is a writer and photographer. A Dane by birth but has long called Australia home. Her debut novel ‘Secrets in the Lakes’ was published in late 2024. Exploring trauma, mystery and rekindling of long-ago friendships, ‘Secrets in the Lakes’ is a pacy, entertaining read from this emerging writer. And I was delighted to chat with Sal recently about her book and journey to publication.
