Summer Rewind: Adele Parks |The Book That Started With a Message on an Answering Machine

We're taking a summer break here at *The Conversation*, so we're bringing back one of your favourite episodes, my conversation with Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks. In this episode, Adele and I talk about her journey through the literary world and the release of her 25th novel, *Our Beautiful Mess*. She shares her experience of storytelling from a young age, the challenges she's faced in her career, and how her writing has evolved from romantic comedies to psychological thrillers. We talk about the importance of connection, both in her personal life and through her characters, and what it takes to hold onto your own voice in a competitive industry. Adele reflects on the lessons she's learned from grief, her journey as a writer, and how she balances the demands of a writing career with everyday life. It's a heartfeIt exploration of resilience, creativity, and the power of storytelling — and since we first recorded this conversation, Adele has a brand new book out: *Eyes on You*. Go grab a copy.
