Top agent David Headley came in with his client, crime writer Graham Bartlett. They talked with our students about every aspect of the agent-writer dynamic. The good, the bad and the ugly. Then each student pitched their book. Incredible.

A very happy publication day to @WordsByGoodman - A Reluctant Spy is out in hardback today from @headlinepg! It’s been a journey, and I’m over the moon that today’s the day. It is such a brilliant spy thriller. If you like any elements of the genre, you’re going to love this.

This was so much fun. A great podcast experience.

[firstgopod @firstgopod]

I can say with certainty I've never laughed more when discussing dead bodies than I did with P.D. (Phil) Viner, currently crowdfunding for LAST NIGHT TOGETHER on Kickstarter. You can tell straightaway Phil is a born storyteller, whatever the medium.
