BFL12 - Romantic Fiction With Katie Fforde

Author of over 50 novels, Katie Fforde talks to Ali Vowles about living in the countryside, about her characters, and why she believes that falling in love is the best thing in the world. 

Katie Fforde lives in the Cotswolds with her family and is a country girl at heart. Each of her books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her bring these to life. She's been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray Mears survival course.  A Cottage in the Country is her latest novel.  

Ali Vowles is a multi-skilled freelance TV and radio journalist, presenter and media trainer who has worked for the BBC for over 30 years.  She now works in the commercial world hosting events and conferences for a variety of clients including universities, charities and businesses.
