Yes, it really has been 25 years since Ralph's Party was released! You are that old! Here to talk about that book, and all the brilliant ones she's written since, is best-selling author&nbsp;Lisa&nbsp;Jewell.&nbsp;She tells us about her writing process, and how she cured herself of imposter syndrome.&nbsp;Lisa&nbsp;shares her top tips for budding authors, and introduces us to our new favourite website,&nbsp;<a href="http://doesthedogdie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">doesthedogdie.com</a>.&nbsp;We talk discuss true crime, and why so many of us women like it so much. Then there's some chat about raising adolescents -&nbsp;Lisa&nbsp;reveals why her parenting&nbsp;style differs from her partner's, and offers some advice on getting through the teenage years. We finish with a Scummy Mummy Confession from Helen that leaves&nbsp;Lisa&nbsp;more horrified than any of the terrible things she's written about in her books.&nbsp;The sexy new anniversary edition of Ralph's Party is out on 23 May. The paperback of&nbsp;Lisa's latest thriller, None of This is True, is out now.
