Fond memories of the time on the old place when a guy called me a grifter “writing books for cash” for writing a book with an extremely loosely Japanese connection, before launching on a jaw-dropping racist rant about the Japanese (genuinely featured the words “cruel race” iirc)
Gone, but not forgotten

Every year I stop myself from posting “now look here you lot, my books would make an excellent Christmas present” in October because it’s way too early, and then I forget until it’s way too late.

A bit more on this podcast and how it is meant to operate. This is kind of a new idea (I think) so it might not work. It might, though. I think you'll like the story, regardless.
