Who is Nico?
What has he lived through and why is he on the run?

He's an old man who's always helping others.
Is this based on someone you know?
He is a lovely man and the people on this island are inherently good people, Ian Kemmish.

I wanted to write a story about goodness.
How radical is it to write a novel where the people are inherently good?

Are you going to write more fiction, Ian?
Well, I loved this first novel.
It's called Two Islands.
It's published by UQP.
Ian Chemish, it's been great to meet you today.
The book show is made on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Whadjuk Noongar people.
