In this episode, we sit with Mark as he shares the tough times brought on by having to fold Grand Central and the need to distance himself from everything he held so close, before finding a new and cathartic path in literature.

He shares stories from his time in Los Angeles, a return to the UK, and the journey that writing took him on, culminating in his latest project New Town Ghosts, which sees him again pairing an album of original music with a novel.

We go deep on the devices and constructs required in storytelling, their parallels with songwriting, and much more, so strap in and get ready!
