More Episodes

Hello you lovely lot, it’s time for a new episode of the podcast series and this week it’s with author Fiona Stanford.

I think it’s safe to say that many of us have found ourselves a little bit in the shadows of our partners from time to time – especially if like Fiona, you are married to a 2-star general. In fact, everyone I told about interviewing Fiona instantly asked what her husband did, rather than about her. So it gives me great pride to be able to focus on her story, which is just as fascinating.

Author Fiona has a wealth of experience picked up during her 25 years of marriage, and I think you will get an awful lot from her story.

Her book 'Don't Say Goodbye: Our Heroes and the Families They Leave Behind', published by Hodder and Stoughton, is available from Amazon, and all good book stores.
