What a brilliant chat with Kate McCaffrey on everything from her inspiration to write young adult fiction, to our love of true crime podcasts, and writing her first adult novel in her 50's.

Today on The Good Girl Confessional Podcast our special guest is Kate McCaffrey, who has an incredible career as a YA author. When she was 17 years old, she broke up with her boyfriend who had a car accident the same night and couldn't remember much, except for her. It's a powerful true story and one that she bravely drew on as she began writing YA fiction.

In fact, Kate has written no less than five award-winning Young Adult novels. Each of these novels has been on school curricula across Australia, and each talks to issues that are impactful for young adult readers.

Leaving a teaching career to write full time, Kate is not afraid to talk to issues that confronting including drugs, eating disorders, mental health issues and cyberbullying.

As a True Crime podcast lover, Kate has recently launched her first adult novel, Double Lives based on a true crime podcaster with a journalism background who hopes to solve a crime with the help of her listeners. Written as a podcast, Double Lives is a gripping novel from start to end. It is now available in all good bookstores.

I loved chatting with Kate and her incredible insights on being a woman beyond forty.
