Listen Later

We're doing a live podcast at Goldfinch Books in Alton on Monday the 6th of July, with the brilliant Claire Fuller.

Come and join us!

So what do we have in today's episode?

An absolute treat, that's what.

Philippa Perry, agony aunt, psychotherapist, artist, self-help-book writer and now cosy crime author.

How the heck does she do it all? She must be either:

A) Some sort of magic fairy-person.

or B) An amazing human being.

Have a listen and I'll let you decide.


We talk about:

Failing and rejection.

How to develop meaningful relationships with your family and friends.

Writing for fun.

Cats.

Making your main character a sorta-kinda-loosely-based-but-actually-quite-similar version of yourself.

and of course Philippa's excellent new cosy crime novel, Shrink Solves Murder.

You can buy that here:

Buy Shrink Solves Murder

But also don't forget to buy the book that has changed Jon's life the most (in a good way!) :)

The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

Hell... buy 'em all... they're all great!

All the books!


OK. Is that it?

No!

It's HYPEWRITER, Silly. And this week we've got the opening of a hardboiled detective novel called No Saints Only Killers by Luke Deckard. (Released on the 10th of June)

Details below!
