While I was in Cornwall over the summer, I took some time out from skylarking along coastal paths and eating copious amounts of clotted cream on scones, to spend a few days with Pan Macmillan shooting an episode for their YouTube channel, Book Break. It was a lot of fun, not least because the show is hosted by Leena Norms who is as perspicacious and delightful in person as she appears on screen. We talked about the magic of Cornwall, the writing process, structuring a novel, lost children, Taylor Swift, and even The Lake House itself. We also explored some of the most beautiful places in the south west.
