Season 9 Episode 1 DISSECTING A NOVEL
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Firstly, thank you so much for being patient and waiting for Season 9. As you'll hear in the episode, the delay was due to getting a traditional publishing contract that had a deadline attached.
Since then, all my focus has been on that book.
Today's episode looks at the dissection of DREAM STATE, my novel published in Dec 2022. At the start of the episode, you'll hear a tiny bonus of giggles - unusual from TVW, but hope it makes you smile too.
Sites mentioned in this episode are:
Dream State eBook : Banham, S J,: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
