1. Radelaide Reads - Adam Cece and Alina Bellchambers - NEW SPIN OFF SERIES

Radelaide Reads is a brand new series where Adam Cece shines a light on talented South Australian authors and illustrators. Today Adam chats to SA YA Author Alina Bellchambers about the conclusion to her epic romantasy duology, The Weight of Crowns. They chat about writing processes, paths to publication, the binge-worthy appeal of the duology, and how Alina’s inability to visualise may actually be her writing superpower. They also chat about acting in a horror movie, even when you’re terrified of horror movies, and how Alina’s sensational bookcase background is similar to her writing journey: amazing, but it didn’t happen overnight!
