Listen "A double life in medicine and writing"
Episode Synopsis
Eileen Merriman manages to combine two successful careers into one working day - she’s a consultant haematologist at North Shore Hospital and is also one of New Zealand’s most successful authors. In August, Eileen won the NZ Book Awards Young Adult Fiction Award for her novel Catch a Falling Star. We ask her about her double life, where she gets her story ideas and how her job in medicine and her writing career work together.
