    Fantastic podcast - it’s great to get a genuinely insightful side from an author rather than the same bog-standard questions…I’ve recently found a social networking site which has quite a few authors posting on (Darren Shan, Sam Taylor, Paul Coelho to name but a few) and they’re apparently aiming to get a lot more.
