Music and cars is always a winning combo and our featured authors in this episode bring some great stories from those worlds through the pages of their latest work.

Jeff Apter returns to Authorised with Reckless - The Saga of Australian Crawl, while debut author but well-known motoring writer Stephen Corby has produced Drives a Bit Funny.

Writing the Australian Crawl story seems a natural progression for Jeff, Australia's best-selling music biographer. He was a Crawl fan and saw the band's first Sydney shows back in the late seventies supporting The Knack.

Stephen Corby has been described as Australia's Jeremy Clarkson - just younger, funnier and less pompous - but he has his own views on that, as you will hear. We bring you Stephen's journey, in and out of a moving vehicle, to becoming Australia's favourite motoring writer and now an author.

The things that happen on breakfast radio. You could write a book! Happily, Stephanie MacFie has done just that with her debut novel Once Upon a Breakfast Show (Text Publishing). Stephanie combines some of her own experiences from a long and successful media career with a romantic adventure (or misadventure) playing out with the star of a popular city breakfast radio show.

Robyn Dennison's crime novel In Plain Sight (Text Publishing) is an impressive debut from a fresh voice in this genre. Detective Lara Wilton and a cast of strong, relatable characters bring this powerful and unpredictable story to life.
