I have been interviewed by the Spotlight Indie podcast! And the video is out now on Youtube. It’s all happened a lot faster than I thought it would, otherwise Iwould have mentioned it for sure in the previous episode: these Spotlight Indie folk don’t hang about!In the interview I talk about my writing journey, what drove me to begin a podcast, my challenges, and we even play a couple of rounds of live Exquisite Corpse. The game results are of course laughably ridiculous—at first! Then the hosts, Frasier Armitage and H.L. Tinsley come up with some great ideas on the spot. And of course this means—I reveal the socks of destiny. This is the first time they have ever been seen anywhere on the internet, and Frasier, as a long-time listener to the show expressed some surprise at what they look like. So tune in and enjoy the curious, the chats and the creative mayhem.
