Books Aloud Interview on Coast Access Radio

I had an in-depth conversation with Catherine Scullin on the Books Aloud show on Coast Access Radio. We talked about the inspiration for Threepence on the Carpet. The project dates back to childhood memories of Punch and Judy shows on the beach. The idea resurfaced in an independent film I made in the mid-1980s, before coming to life in the current novel. I’m beyond excited to share this passion project with the world!

A Kiwi musician. London in the swinging sixties. A hippy girlfriend. How did it all go so wrong?
Tommy Trevelian shot to fame as a singer-songwriter during his eagerly anticipated overseas experience in London at the heart of the 1960s counterculture. His protest songs were a rallying call for demonstrations in Trafalgar Square and fuelled the Aldermaston marches. Life was a kaleidoscope of love, truth and passion until it all came crashing down in a haze of smoking incense and bitter betrayal.
Fast forward to the 1980s, and Tommy is back in New Zealand, ready to throw it all in. Folk music has fallen out of favour. Kiwis were into rugby and wanted cheerleaders with happy jingles, not protest songs. He’s on the verge of despair when he receives an unexpected inheritance from a long-lost uncle. Could this be the lifeline he needs, or a Pandora’s box about to implode?
Threepence on the Carpet is available from all good book sellers and Amazon.
