  • Phoenix Andrews (Spoken Label, August 2023)

    Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Artist Podcast) and featuring Amanda Nicholson as special guest features the debut of a longstanding friend of ours, Phoenix Andrews.


    Phoenix advises he is a "writer living in West Sussex, UK. I started out as a musician, playing piano, writing and recording songs, but soon fell in love with writing poetry and short stories. This has since progressed into novels. I am passionate about writing in the genres of crime fiction and horror and my first published book, Blood Cells is pure testimony to this. Based around a small group of central characters, I have included a a dark element of conspiracy which, I have to confess, is another guilty pleasure of mine, however farfetched! Don't worry, I don't believe everything I read.


    Blood Cells is the first in a series of novels centered around these characters, with a dark, supernatural theme running through them which goes high up to the top levels of government. I hope you enjoy the thrilling ride!"

  • Molly Garcia (Spoken Label, July 2023)

    Latest up from Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) features the awesome Molly Garcia.

    Molly Garcia lives in Spain with her partner of over 30 years, they have two grown-up children.
    Molly has worked in social care and the NHS since 1991 and uses
    her experiences to guide her writing and to create complex and
    realistic characters and backgrounds
    In this Podcast we talk primarily about her new novel "Willow Weeps"
    Willow Weeps is "It was 1993 when Andy last saw his sister, Willow, one minute he was holding her hand, and the next she was gone.
    Thirty years later, Andy has a family of his own, but he’s never forgotten his little sister.
    How could he?
    Her disappearance destroyed his family and ended his childhood, and with all the leads dried up and no new clues he’s had to accept that she’s gone forever. That’s until he’s contacted by a woman who claims to have a message for him from Willow, sceptical, but unable to resist trying anything Andy meets up with her.
    Cleo knows things that were never made public at the time, and Andy starts to think that just maybe, she really is in contact with Willow.
    When one of his childhood adversaries is found murdered Andy turns to the police officer in charge of the investigation at the time for help.
    DCI Unwin Phelps had reluctantly retired with Willow being his only cold, unsolved case. Offered the opportunity to finally find out what happened to her he agrees to get involved. Working with Cleo and Andy they don’t realise the danger they're in.
    Is Willow back and seeking revenge?
    If so, is she dead or alive, and why are those involved in the case being picked off, one by one?
    Andy will have to dig deep into a dark past he’d rather forget for the answers, but will finding out break him and those he loves?"
    We also talk about her short story collection 'Comeuppance: Dark & Twisted Tales' and talk about her series 'The Adam and Sarah series' and so, so much.

  • Alise Versella (Spoken Label, June 2023)

    Latest Spoken Label (Author / Artist /Poetry Podcast) session features the return of our dear friend, the wonderful Alise Versella.

    Alise Versella is a Pushcart-nominated, contributing writer for Rebelle Society whose work has been published in Circle Show, COG Magazine, Crack the Spine, Entropy, The Opiate, Penumbra Literary and Art Journal, Poydras Review, Ultraviolet Tribe, What Rough Beast, Steam Ticket, and Elephant Journal, among others
    As stated elsewhere by Kate Fuller
    "With dazzling formal range, these poems observe the social ills of the day, using images so beautifully real and painful that the line between the literal and figurative blurs in the way only art attuned to the universally truthful can. The rage and wildness observed and experienced in them, whether through the media or in a visit to the doctor’s office in a female body, serve as a balm to the injustices that only mortality might rectify: “perhaps the dead will breathe again,” writes Versella. Yet even in our “common stress dream” or the dream of “America,” the poet isn’t blind to the enduring spirit of not just the dead, but also the living: “the humpback whale returns to the Hudson, hope on his lips.” Hope–these poems, what these poems say–can be made from the wreckage."
