Episode 16: Welsh Rare Bits. Writing Special with Laura Kemp
About this episode
Novelist Laura Kemp is our guest on this episode, which was recorded on location in lovely Cardiff. She talks discusses her popular books, Mums Like Us and Mums on Strike, and reveals how she balances writing, motherhood and a serious Lego habit.
We all play Helen's new game, Things That Make You Go Urgh. And Ellie explains why she's not sure honesty is always the best policy. Plus there is a special cameo appearance by Ollie the dog. We round off with Scummy Mummy Confessions and announce the winners of our competition.
Allison Pearson described Laura's first novel as "fantastically funny - debunks the myths of yummy mummydom and is a sanity saver." Her books are now available on Amazon, with the Kindle version of Mums on Strike currently priced at £3.99.
