B. A. Paris
Amelie wakes up in a pitch black room, having been abducted, she assumes by her loathsome husband... but she quickly discovers all is not as it seems. This is the plot of B. A. Paris’ novel The Prisoner. Bernadette MacDougal joins Richard and Judy to explain why an initial lack of confidence in her writing made her decide to write under a pen name. She also explains how this imposter syndrome meant success came as a real surprise to her. They also discuss how a book is able to become a bestseller when it hasn’t had a lot of publicity.
