Thank you for having me.

Yeah, great to have you along, Fiona.

And also today, Lynne Malcolm.

Well, we didn't have to go far to find her.

She's a science broadcaster and presenter of All in the Mind here on RN.

Lynne, always a pleasure to have science and literature and you together on a bookshelf.

Fiona Lowe, 30 books.

Can you give us a sense of your range and style of writing?
