031 Finding Pockets Of Time To Be Creative - CALI BIRD talks about Being An Author

CALI BIRD is the author of Don't Give Up Your Day Job and has recently self-published her first fiction story Tales of the Countess which will form part of a series of books about the 'Countess'.

Cali was born in Bedfordshire and lived a considerable part of her early adulthood in the Waterloo and Kennington areas of London. Although now back in Bedfordshire, Cali always stays in Waterloo whenever she comes to London for work. On this occasion, for our podcast chat, we walked and talked in the nearby Archbishop's Park - a favourite haunt of hers and incidentally mine while I was running my bookshop in Lower Marsh.

Cali is a true creative. She blogs about creativity, she writes articles posted to Medium, she is now the author of both a non-fiction and fiction book and she managed to juggle all this creativty whilst also holding down an intense part-time job as a software consultant.

Cali has travelled widely and although more settled these days, she hopes to travel the lengths and breadths of the States on a huge road trip. This is Cali's inspiring story about London, the world and life. Apologies in advance for any sound interference - it was a noise challenged walk and my microphone got soaked in the torrential rain!
