We're constantly drawing inspiration from history here on The Hobcast Book Show, and the same is true for our guest this week, U.S author Mary Kendall. As Mary explains, it was whilst delving into her own family history that she discovered the real life events that inspired her debut novel, the The Spinster's Fortune. Set in Washington D.C, Mary draws on her experiences growing up in the city to bring the setting to life, but she still had to embark of months of research to ensure she captured the events of 1929 correctly.
Also this week, we celebrate another major award nomination for a Hobeck author, and we ask why so many universities are suddenly launching Masters degrees in publishing?
