Poppy T Perry on the Creative Differences Livestream

Poppy T Perry is an artist, an art tech and the author of the amazing Dead Real, in which Nora wants to tell her best friend and horror fan Ruby that she’s in love with her, but first there’s the small matter of the town being overrun by flesh-eating zombies.

We’ll be discussing…

  • How it took a mere 15 years from Poppy’s first writing lesson to publication
  • How she uses art and zines to promote her books
  • And what it takes to be a 5am writer!

And much more!!

Beatles Ranking on Authorized

I’ve been a guest on the Authorized Podcast quite a few times, and I love chatting about novelisations and film-related books, but I was especially honoured to be asked to guest on one of their special ranking episodes a few weeks ago. Ostensibly, we were supposed to be ranking the Beatles books and films that we’d been discussing over the course of the season, but we started by discussing the Odyssey movie, the new Spider-Man and much, much more. It’s basically a cultural digest of cool stuff! Of course, if you want to skip all that and get to the Beatles stuff, that starts about an hour in. Enjoy (available from all podcast providers, but for some reason Spotify is the only link that will embed here… hey ho)…

And here are my previous Beatles episodes if you want to catch up…
