Radio at the World's End...

Unbeknownst to me, out in the farthest reaches of Western Australia there lurks a hobby radio station. And the fine gentlemen who run wanted to chat to me about my books and writing. Who was I to refuse?

A couple of weeks back, I was contacted by a nice Aussie chap called Luke Retallack who runs World's End Radio, a hobby podcast station that operates in Western Australia and covers all the Games Workshop hobby games (whom I write novels and short stories about), amongst a host of other things.

Luke and his partner in crime (not literally, I hasten to add - just a figure of speech), John 'JJ' Layfield called me up on a bleary Sunday morning and to wax lyrical about Honourkeeper, Salamander and writing in general.

A huge hats off to both of them, who made the experience enjoyable and gave me some probing and testing questions. Hopefully, I was reasonably interesting too.

Contained within the mammoth two-part interview are a number of exclusives that I'll leave to the boys and not mention here. Suffice to say, if you'd like to listen to it just head over to World's End Radio. Your looking for Episode 16 'Down the Rabbit Hole' (I wonder if that's in homage to my house rabbit, Shakespeare). The link is embedded above, if seeking it out proves tricky.

I think Salamander fans will find it particularly interesting (I hope), as there's quite a lot on that especially given the imminent release of Heroes of the Space Marines with the tie-in story 'Fires of War' in it, and then of course the novel itself.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show. The interview is in with a bunch of other stuff, so all you need do is skip forward on the progress by once you've clicked on the audio link (unless you want to hear the rest of the podcast, of course, and why wouldn't you - it's all good hobby stuff).

Would love to know your thoughts on it...

Hah, nice interview, man. You came across really well. The exlusives at the end were a revelation, too. Didn't know about the audiobook and Empire stuff, but the fans clearly have plenty of Kymey goodness to look forward to. ;)

I like to play things pretty close to my chest. I'm working on the audio book project now, as it happens. Once I've got a bit more down, I'll do a blog post.

Glad you liked the interview, though, mate. And fans don't just have Kymey goodness to look forward to, there's a certain Mr Parker blazing something a trail too... ;-)

Hah. Somehow `Parkery goodness` just doesn`t have the same ring to it. ;)
