Talking Aussie Books with Rhianna King

Any book that explores the role fate plays in our lives is always going to be one I will enjoy. 

So it was with great interest that I read Rhianna King's and brilliant debut novel ‘Birds of a Feather’ published at the end of March by Affirm Press. 

Rhianna is a Melbourne-based author who has spent more than two decades working as a communicator in the public and not for profit sector.

During the long lockdowns of 2020 and 2021,  Rhianna fancied company of people other than those she was in lockdown with and so decided to create characters with whom to spend time with.

The result was 'Birds of a Feather': an absolutely delightful novel about forbidden romance, second chances, taking yourself beyond your comfort zone and of course, fate. 

I laughed, I cried and just fell in love with this charming and assured story from a talented newcomer. 

Rhianna and I had a wonderful chat for the podcast recently about her inspiration, writing, visiting London and... what we would do if we won the lotto!
