Our guest this week on The Hobcast Book Show rarely takes no for an answer. Author, journalist and podcaster Paul Waters sees a 'no entry' sign as a challenge to be overcome rather than a deterrent. Take, for instance, how he produced the first live foreign radio show in communist Cuba by somehow smuggling in a satellite dish through the airport. And how many Hobcast guests can claim to have cooked a meal for Pele? Paul draws on his rich and widely-traveled life and career in his fiction. His first book, Blackwatertown, a historical crime novel set in 1950's Armagh has attracted praise from greats such as Peter May and Frederick Forsyth. With a new series out on submission, Paul reveals himself to be a natural storyteller, and someone determined to make the most from all life has to offer.
Also this week, we follow up on last week's furore about changes made by Findaway Voices by Spotify to their audiobook distribution contracts, with the UK's Society of Authors demanding further clarification. Plus we discuss the news that Richard Osman is launching a new crime series. Will this have the same impact on UK crime fiction that his Thursday Murder Club bestsellers did?
