Video: How to Have a #1 Amazon Bestseller

In the interview, which lasts around 30 minutes – so you might want to settle down with a glass of wine to watch it, I talk about our very long journey to publication and [...]

The Common Cold Unit: The Inspiration for Catch Your Death
By Louise Voss Most people who grew up in Salisbury from the 1940s to the 1980s knew about the Common Cold Research Unit (as it was originally called, before being abbreviated to the Common Cold Unit) and many knew of someone who had volunteered there.

A writer’s journey: from being left on the shelf to being on the shelf
By Mark Edwards The world is full of clichés about never giving up your dreams, of try-try-try again. It’s what fuels reality shows like The X Factor. It’s a story that athletes and celebrities use to fill the pages of their autobiographies, between the early chapters on their childhood and their big break. For writers, [...]
