So, I mean, why don't you tell us why you're in Edinburgh, first of all?
8:02
Yeah, so I'm doing a show called Blood on the Clocktower Live, which is a comedy game show, like panel show adaptation of the board game Blood on the Clocktower.

So many years ago, I was in Turkey.

What's really cool, so the way it came about was we were speaking to Chris, who is, I forget the position, he's like the COO of the Pandemonium Institute who make Blood on the Clock Tower, about, I think it was about the live shows, or another project, and he was saying, oh, we've gotten in touch with Lee Harris at Tor Publishing and they wanna talk about doing novels.
25:55
have you got anything you want to send? And I had written a novel in lockdown, which I thought was good, but like, you know, you wrote it in lockdown.
26:01
I've lost my mind.
26:03
So I sent Lee that and he got in touch saying, yes, let's, we'd like you to write a novel, which I was like, this is, this has been my dream from being a child.
26:12
Like being a writer is the only thing I ever truly wanted to do.
26:15
Like all this other stuff is great and it's fed into everything else that I've done.
