What does it take to transform from a humble bookseller into a Sunday Times best-selling author? Join me as I chat with B P Walter, who shares his extraordinary journey and the realities behind the success story.

B P Walter candidly opens up about the book industry’s often-hidden complexities, from navigating early rejections to understanding the crucial role of supermarkets in a book’s success. We recount both the thrill and the anxiety surrounding book launches, especially during the unprecedented times of the pandemic. Walter’s reflections on working in bookstores and the unique experiences that shaped his career provide an eye-opening look into the literary world’s inner workings.

Listeners will particularly enjoy hearing about B P Walter’s prolific year, with the release of three distinct books,  including his latest novel, 'The Garden Party' and his foray into the horror genre with “Scuttle".

Scuttle
Your worst nightmare is about to come true…

When an overnight camping trip in the woods on Halloween night goes wrong, and a girl ends up dead with what looks like animal wounds, the whole neighbourhood is shocked.

How did it happen?

And more importantly what was it that killed her?
