Hey Everybody!

Everybody on Substack knows Ellie Leonard, and there are a lot of people in the publishing world who know Libbie Grant (who is a bestselling author under the name Olivia Hawker). As you know, I’ve been doing the voice overs for Ellie’s novel “Death of a Mayfly.” Every now and then Ellie and I chat about life after this regime, I hope that when the dust settles and decency returns as a guiding principle, Ellie will finally get to see her book in print.

I’ve signed a few book deals with small presses, but nothing close to what Libbie has achieved. So, I thought it would be fun to bring the three of us together to talk books for an hour.

It was fun. It’s such a delight to sit with other writers and making insider writing jokes that only they understand. Libbie is getting going on Substack, so you can follow here here:

I hope you enjoy this!
