This week for Bookmarks we speak to one of New Zealand's best selling novelists Deborah Challinor.
The talented writer has a knack for writing gripping, accurate historical fiction which comes from her background as a doctored historian.
She joins Jesse to talk about what she likes to read, watch and listen to when she's not penning a best seller herself.
