Scots Whay Hae!

For the latest SWH! podcast Ali spoke to writer and journalist Olga Wojtas about her novels Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Golden Samover and Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Vampire Menace (both published on the Contraband imprint of Saraband Books). Olga is one of warmest, wittiest, and downright readable writers around, and it was such a pleasure to be able to chat about her writing, the influences and inspirations behind the 'Miss Blaine's Prefect' books, how she feels about Muriel Spark and The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie, the importance of a good mentor, and of a supportive publisher, the joy of writing about other times, people, and places, and the why proper research is not just vital, but a pleasure.
