Writer, teacher and novelist, Katherine Kovacic, appeared on the program to discuss her latest book – ‘Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries – Just Murdered’ (on publication day no less!). 
Topics discussed include:
-	The unique way in which Katherine came by the project. 
-	The writing process for the story – originally based on a screenplay – how Katherine balanced the need to make the novel a faithful adaption of the source material while ensuring her own writerly vision was realised.
-	How Katherine, an already accomplished historical and true-crime fiction author, went about bringing the 1960s Melbourne to life. From cars (Austin Healey 3000) to the fashion, exquisite dresses and a giant faux cake!
-	The writing of the Adventuresses’ Club Of The Antipodes – a place where Peregrine might’ve finally found her community, her people. 
-	Fun! Fun found in the writing of Peregrine - the intrepid sleuth. 
-	What, if any, alteration to Katherine’s own writing style were made in order to deliver what the pre-existing fans might’ve wanted/expected. 
-	And so much more!
Thanks heaps to Katherine for appearing on the program, you can pick up ‘Just Murdered’ from Allen & Unwin, here:
