Have you ever had a Sliding Doors Moment - a decision or opportunity that could have gone either way that leads to two very different futures?

Adele Parks MBE is an author of 25 bestselling novels and one of the bestselling authors of women’s fiction in the UK. She published her first novel ‘Playing Away’ in 2000, and since then she has released 25 Sunday Times best sellers including ‘Just Between Us’ and ‘One Last Secret.’ Over 5 million copies of her work have been sold and her books translated into 31 languages.

In this episode Adele opens up about her incredibly interesting writing process and where her passion for story telling came from. She discusses her thoughts around how hard work is the gateway to creating luck and opportunity and how from the dark times in your life, you can find meaning and purpose again. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: deciding to write a novel whilst she had a full time job and the moments of fate that got her first book deal, deciding to go out one night when she had just got divorced and meeting her husband across a crowded room and what if she had decided to have more children?
