In my latest podcast, I chat to award-winning author JM Lane, ahead of the publication of his new book, Why The Curlew Cries, which is out on October 31st.

We talk about so many things, including his writing career, self-publishing, folklore, and life in general.

Content warning: This conversation includes discussion of cancer, mental health, depression, changelings and stillborn babies. Some listeners may find these topics upsetting.

Thank you to JM Lane for taking the time to chat with me and share his story. I wish him the very best of luck with his new book.
