Few contemporary authors are as adept as Anita Heiss at mastering every genre – from engaging children’s books, to artful memoir, to sweeping historical fiction.
Her latest novel, Red Dust Running, is a swoony romantic comedy, with a touch of social justice and politics, telling a classic opposites-attract tale of a cultured city girl who falls for an outback cowboy.
In this wide-ranging conversation with host Shelley Ware, Heiss discusses her craft, her role as Publisher at Large with Bundyi, a First Nations publishing imprint, her ongoing activism and advocacy work, and writing novels grounded in heart, humour and resilience.
