Author and publisher Brad King hosts The Downtown Writers Jam Podcast, an hour-long, one-on-one interview program with some of your favorite authors.

We don’t talk about themes or the writing process. Instead, we have the kind of discussions writers have when are readers aren’t around. We talk about the events that shaped us growing up, current affairs, and why we write about what we do.

Episode 60: Susan Allott: One of the enduring themes of the program is that almost nobody knows how to become a writer. On this episode of the Jam, author Susan Allot went to Australia for a boy, got homesick, came back to Britain, married an Australian...and then more than a decade later she wrote her book about a British woman who returns to Sydney.

But, as you'll find out, that's not what her book The Silence is about. And there's more to Susan's story.
