In this episode, Margaret Allen is joined by bestselling author Jacqui Rose (better known to readers as 'J.P.') who shares her journey as an author - highlighting her Northern roots and adoption, which profoundly influenced her worldview and writing.
They discuss her latest book "Birdie" inspired by her empathy for pit ponies she saw growing up - reflecting themes of loss, grief, and racism. J.P. shares her childhood love for reading and writing as a means of escapism and self-exploration.
J.P. Rose is the bestselling author of over 18 adult crime novels, and is also collaborating with Martina Cole on her new novels. Last year, she was a judge for the Jhalak prize writing for children's books and YA. She was also winner of our 2024 Quiz Writers' Choice Award for Secondary Fiction for "The Haunting of Tyrese Walker".
