This was great fun. Fabulous to hang out with @NickMakoha, and there were honourable mentions of authors of books I'm currently reading, @BlitzAmbassador and @jessedmccart. Listen at your leisure. It's only 45 minutes, including audience questions

We lost our incredible dad on Saturday morning. He was more than a parent, he was also our best friend. We are utterly heartbroken, but so grateful for the time we had with him

We will be offline with family for a while, but so appreciative of the lovely messages
