Emma Steele was born and raised on the west coast of Scotland before studying law at The University of Aberdeen. Working as a solicitor in Edinburgh, she continued to dabble in her childhood passions of art and creative writing for several years. Emma now writes big love stories with a twist, and with a particular focus on phenomena. The stunning city of Edinburgh is generally her setting of choice, but she likes to weave in elements of the wider world too. The Echos of Us is her first novel.
Our interview begins at 30.00
We've got a Substack publication now! On the last day of the month, we share recommendations for two things we reckon you should read/watch/listen to. The beauty of Substack is you can revisit all our old editions and comment on our episode updates to share your thoughts. Come say hi!
It's a bit of a different intro this week as Caitlin shares the details of her bookish Anne of Green Gables-inspired trip to Canada, including the books she's read in preparation. While Michelle chats about 2.22: A Ghost Story and meeting one of her favourite actors.
In this interview, we chat about:
- Shared death experiences and how the phenomena inspired the story of Robbie and Jenn
- Robbie's flawed character and why we enjoy seeing this in male main characters
- The process of writing a book with so many shifts in timelines and perspective
- Emma's incredibly unique publishing experience – being published as a debut author in German before the UK
Books and other things mentioned:
- Anne of Green Gables (1980s adaptation)
- Into the Uncanny by Danny Robbins
- Prima Facie by Suzie Miller (novel and script - we talk about the book here)
- Shake & Stir productions in Australia
- Big (film)
- Good Material by Dolly Alderton
