Dacorum Radio Interview on Leslie Tate's Show - The Full Broadcast

By
A couple of weeks ago writer and broadcaster Leslie Tate graciously asked if I'd appear on his evening Dacorum Radio show in a double bill with the excellent Portuguese actress Marta Carvalho who was great company and obviously much more interesting than myself. I had a great time chatting with Leslie, and Marta, about writing, inspiration (or lack of), ideas and the process of creating a story, or at least the way I do it. I chose four favourite music tracks, designed to illustrate the lost art of tale-telling arcs in rock lyrics, but due to my rabbiting on only two of them got played; Procol Harum and XTC.
Dacorum Radio's link to the interview is below, please have a listen:

My new speculative fiction novel 'The Transference' is now available for download on Amazon Kindle.

Despite Joe’s lack of the basic knowledge required for the position, Trans-Port Incorporated's boss, Professor William Carver, appears only too welcoming. The catch soon appears; Joe is pressurized into being

My new novella, 'The Meteorite', is now available for download on Amazon Kindle. It's basically the study of a breakdown dressed in the clothes of science fiction fantasy. Here's a fuller description: Duncan Crawley cuts his foot on a small rock whilst playing with his children at the beach. When he examines the cut later however there is little sign of damage, just a purple circle. When his wife Jen rubs it that night after he complains of cramp Duncan has a strange out of body experience; for a moment he literally sees himself through Jen’s eyes. Their relationship has become strained of late. The high-flying Jen is pressuring Duncan to ask his bullying boss Goddard for a raise but, despite Jen’s insistence he 'stand up for himself', Duncan’s timid character makes him refrain. Nevertheless, whilst in a meeting with Goddard he works up the courage to ask. In the midst of Goddard’s sarcastic reply Duncan has a frightening hallucination of the other
