Always a pleasure to chat to John Michell about his latest book 'The Wind From New Jersey', this one's a real hit for sure!
John explains what's behind the book, including why he has included a storyline about stress and mental illness.
John has excellent advice for anyone thinking about writing a book themselves, invaluable words from an Australian expert!

About the book:
Framed against the Allied occupation of postwar Germany, the emerging Cold War and a classic English poem, The Wind From New Jersey is a story set in an era when mental illness was considered a sign of weakness. It traces the lives of two young Englishmen, the emotionally disturbed spy Daniel Lincoln and the narcissistic criminal Ronald Hunt.
The Berlin Wall of 1961 has curtailed Western espionage in East Germany. In 1964 Britain’s MI6 and the American CIA plot to rectify this. But MI6 has a secret agenda.
Daniel and Ronald become embroiled in separate but interdependent games of no-win Cold War cat and mouse. While all the while, as Daniel’s untreated illness rages, friend battles friend as much as foe.
A taut, stealthily seductive psychological tale of intrigue and human frailty, The Wind From New Jersey is a book perfect for lovers of gritty, edge of your seat espionage thrillers.

Renown actor Colin McFarlane talks to me about the Justice4Windrush Campaign.
He tells me how he got involved and about his personal reasons why, and about his friendship with fellow campaigner Annie Lennox.
Colin explains to me how the sad situation came about and affected so many people, and how they were treated, first being invited to the UK after the war, and then fighting deportation after many years.
He describes to me how The British Home Office and wider government have failed to act to compensate most of the victims, as at January 2024 only 13.8% of eligible victims have been compensated.
Please visit www.justice4windrush.org for more information and to sign the open letter to The Prime Minister and the Leader of The Opposition.

Paula Love Clark is an established author and artist and has published her latest book 'Pyramid'.
To quote "Pyramid is a riveting dive into the unchartered depths of human potential when artificial intelligence is intricately woven into the very fabric of the human brain".

This is not an anti AI book, rather a fictional novel that encourages the reader to think widely about what could happen if humans lose control, or maybe pass control to someone or something else. Call it a book to prepare the human race for the future!
We have a fascinating conversation about all that and more, including aliens, social media, cashless society and much more !
One thing is certain, the book is hard to put down and is sure to be a best seller!

'Pyramid' by Paula Love Clark is available on Amazon for Kindle and in paperback.
Details of all Paula's books and her paintings can be found at www.paulaloveclark.com
