Denise Haynes Talks About Her Novel - Talent Show, Growing Up in a Large Family, and Asks, "Do We Know and Understand Our Parents?" This is episode 781 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Denise Theresa Haynes has had several different careers, ranging from a flight attendant for British West Indian Airways and an advertising clerk for a newspaper, (Trinidad Guardian), to being a tutor, teaching assistant, and college lecturer for a decade, and a Spanish interpreter for Court of Appeals in Bridgetown, Barbados for seven years. Her longest career was as a lawyer in private practice for 16 years in Barbados, from which she mostly retired in 2021. But perhaps her biggest talent is only sprouting now, as a writer and storyteller. Haynes’ debut novel, Talent Show, has been well-received by book reviewers, and so she plans to continue writing. Signs of her writing talents appeared in 1999 when she was a runner-up in the Commonwealth Bureau’s Short Story Competition. She has also had articles published in magazines and journals. Born and raised in Trinidad, the youngest of her 10, she is married for many years and has two adult children. She resides in St. Peter, Barbados.

Our focus today is Denise’s book - Talent Show.
