Michael Robotham, author of The Night Ferry, is interviewed by Peter Wilmoth in "The Age".
Robotham says a writing career in the small Australian market is hard and he acknowledges his happy position. "When you dream of being a writer since you were 12 years old and initially your aim is to get a book published and then when you discover you're not only going to get it published but you're going to be able to do it full-time, it's almost as though, 'When did I sell my soul to the devil, and when is he going to ask for it back?'"
