My guest today is Matson Taylor, author of Richard and Judy Bookclub pick THE MISEDUCATION OF EVIE EPWORTH and the follow-up novel, set ten years later, ALL ABOUTEVIE- which is currently out in Hardback and is due to be released in paperback this July 2023.
Matson and I have a lovely chat about his work as a design historian at the V&A and how that fed into the Evie books, writing through decades and writing funny stories about serious things. We touch on the fact that his first book is set home county of Yorkshire and ponder on the issues with writing dialect and how, though there is another Evie book planned, his next novel will be breaking away from the trilogy and heading to Rome…I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it, all the books that we mention are listed in the show notes and you can check the out or purchase them in my episode specific Novel Experience Bookshop.org shop HERE.
