Chris welcomes fellow author Liam Jenkins to the show to talk all things writing, publishing and beyond!

Liam is the writer behind the fantastic adventure novel 'Dylan McFinn and The Fury of The Sea Serpent', and discusses his writing journey so far, from his self-confessed childhood obsession with sharks and sea monsters, how his career in PR gave him the initial love for the writing craft, through to the family holiday that first inspired his book.

Although 'Dylan McFinn' is aimed at a younger audience, it has already received acclaim from readers of all ages so is definitely one not to miss!

You can buy your copy now from Amazon (paperback, Kindle and e-book) as well as retailers such as Waterstones, Foyle's and WHSmith's.

"David McCaffrey's excellent debut novel, Hellbound is one of those thrillers that keeps you glued to the page while you try to imagine what will happen next." - Steve Alten, best-selling author of THE MAYAN PROPHECY & MEG (2014)

With high praise such as this from an international best-selling author behind two box-office smash-hit movies (The Meg, The Meg 2:The Trench), it is little surprise that UK-based author David McCaffrey has served as a source of inspiration for many independent authors.

Being one of these himself, Chris is thrilled to finally get the chance to chat with David about his writing career, from the kernels of his first story to being mentored by Steve Alten who helped shape his debut novel, 'Hellbound'.

We also hear how David's own job as an Infection Control Nurse during the global pandemic impacted his own creativity, how it affected the release of his own virus-laden chiller series 'Warmest Place To Hide', as well as his role as a publisher at the helm of Britain's Next Bestseller.

Finally, we hear more about David's latest work and upcoming new release, 'One', which will be available very soon.

To keep up-to-date with all of David's latest news, be sure to check out his website (www.davidmccaffrey.co.uk) and find all of his amazing books on Amazon.

Chris returns to the roots of the podcast by delving into not only his guest's biggest influences but also one of his own.

Joining Chris today is Steve Barry, an ultra-talented entertainer from Montreal, Quebec.

Steve is not only an actor but a very accomplished singer-songwriter who believes in the true art of performance rather than just singing a song.

In this episode, Steve discusses his biggest influences, sharing one in particular with Chris himself - the legendary Chris de Burgh.

Having already shared the importance of de Burgh's music in his work, Chris gets to hear Steve's involvement with the superstar , which saw his tribute show gain personal approval by Chris de Burgh himself!

Richard Houghton is the man behind many 'fan histories' for some of the biggest bands in rock music history, having written books about The Rolling Stone, The Beatles, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy and Rush to name only a few. Unlike many traditional biographies and autobiographies, Richard's books are told through the eyes of the fans, giving a glimpse into the artists' impact on their lives and just some of their treasured memories of early and historic performances.

In this episode, Richard chats to Chris about where the inspiration came from for his first book and how it snowballed, leading to bands themselves commissioning him to tell their story through the eyes of their fans. In particular, Richard discusses one of his recent releases about one of Chris' all-time favourite bands, 'Lend Me Your Ears: The Fan History of Jethro Tull' which was endorsed by frontman Ian Anderson himself.

Richard's books are all available to order via Amazon, Spenwood Books and via major book retailers.
