After a Kansas tornader carries a young girl and her talking dog to the strange land of Oz, they set out to find a wizard coincidentally named Oz to ask if he can help them return home. Along with two friends and an acquaintance, they venture to the West to find and kill an evil witch in return for Oz's help investigating the Munchkin murders, providing landmines, and getting the two travelers back to their home to Kansas.

Today's episode is the first in a two-part series on rebooting your author career, featuring two authors who both have new releases, and who are both taking their careers in new directions with their two latest books.

The first interview is with Sasha Wesley, and next week, I'll be speaking to Meredith Jaffé.

Sasha is a West Australian author who had three books out a few years back in her Outback romance series: Dear Banjo, True Blue and Love Song. She also writes in the paranormal genre, under the pen name S.D. Wasley, for both adults and young adults. Last year Sasha published her first contemporary fiction title with Pantera Press, Spring Clean for the Peach Queen, and will soon be going into middle grade fiction. Sasha wears a lot of different writing hats, has a couple of pen names and a lot of diverse interests, including a new genre that she talks about at the end of this interview.

In this interview Pam chats to Sasha about her new release, A Caravan Like a Canary, published last month by Pantera , as well as talking about the new direction in Sasha's author career and how that has come about.

So grab a cuppa, sit back and I hope you enjoy this chat with Sasha Wasley on the Writes4Women Convo Couch.
