They also talk about the importance of author mates, accidental deleted manuscripts and some scary scary creepy scenes too.Joe had a glass of wine at lunch before the recording - and then had a negroni thrust in his hands at the studio - so he was quite 'loose' for this one!

Great lengths of supple silk, rolled onto bales. And the closer you get, the more it whispers…In the Factory, the looms never stop weaving. Cobwebs transported from ancient Mediterranean glades are spun into a precious fabric that silences the world.But what happens to those who fall under its spell? And who is harnessing its power?After all, a world of silence can bring peace, but it can also conceal the deeds of the wicked…The Silence Factory is an enthralling story about complicity, desire and corruption – a novel to lose yourself in.'The Sirens' by Emilia Hart ﻿Sisters separated by centuries. Voices that can't be drowned out.&nbsp;Lucy is running from what she’s done – and what someone did to her.There’s only one person who might understand: her sister Jess. But when Lucy arrives at her sister’s desolate cliff-top house, Jess is gone.Lucy is now alone, in a strange town steeped in rumour. Stories of men disappearing without a trace. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave. And women’s voices murmuring on the waves…As Lucy searches for her sister, those voices get ever louder. They tell of two sisters, two centuries ago, bound and transported across the world. A world where men always get their way. A world that is at once distant, and achingly familiar. Are these voices luring Lucy closer to her sister? Or will the secrets of the past pull them both under?<hr> Hosted on Acast.
