I went on this excellent podcast to talk about my book About A Son. Really good talk. All on strong painkillers. Please listen! Why not!
A new Logroll is up.
I spoke to @d_whitehouse about his 2022 book About A Son.
He wrote three novels before this and explains why he turned to nonfiction.
We also discuss a surprising decision he made about his advance.

Happy paperback publication day to @d_whitehouse! We're delighted this ground-breaking book on the tragic death of Morgan Hehir is out for the world to read in paperback.
Publishing today with @Phoenix_Bks, it's truly a masterpiece.
