Thank you so much for your time today.

And as if by magic, I'm now here with our second group of authors.

I'm not going to waste any time.

I'm going to ask them to introduce themselves and their books to you.

And again, I'm going to work alphabetically.

So first of all, Jiang, I'm coming to you first.

That was a very, very polished elevator pitch.

Congratulations.

You got us off to a fantastic start.

Tara, no pressure.

I'm coming to you next.

Fantastic.

Thank you so much for that introduction, Tara.

And rounding out our debut fiction prize shortlist, Stephanie, I'm coming to you.

That's such an excellent tease introduction.

Fantastic.

Now, anybody hearing those three elevator pitches will understand how different these three books are.

But if I was looking for a unifying feature of them, you could say that you as authors really do put.

your readers through some very extreme emotions in these books and I wanted to ask first of all whether when writing in that sort of way it exerts any kind of toll on you as the writer in the same way that it does for the reader when they come to read it.

I will come to you first Gio.
