This is a great point I think. Absolutely right about that big marketplace with all the stalls...
It was really great to talk about my book with Nomad Podcast:
No plans at the moment, but I would love to make that happen if I can!
I'd be really interested to hear thoughts from anyone who reads the book from the perspective of other churchmanships. To me it felt like a book as much about teenagerhood/adulthood as anything -- but I don't know how it'll read in other contexts, and I'd love to hear!
Thank you!
There’s an important new book on Soul Survivor and being the ‘revival generation’ coming out next month, #CofEpeeps. Let’s hear from the author… viamedia.news/2026/03/12/w...

This #WorldBookDay, it's 56 days until publication for When the Music Fades, probably the first book to combine extensive reference to Delirious? songs with a balanced critique of "fire tunnels", an Emo Phillips joke and quotations from Cold Comfort Farm canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...
