This week, we have something slightly different in store: we're bringing you an interview conducted by Jason Dasey, when he met up with his former colleague Michael Robotham, who is now a bestselling author of psychological thrillers. Jason and Michael talk about his path to becoming an author, his 14th novel, Good Girl, Bad Girl, and his near-death experience. After that, we turn our attention to stories focused on Christmas, and discuss why they strike an emotional chord.
