Jon GraceyGUEST
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.

Jon GraceyGUEST
I was in Turkey on a conference with a bunch of people and we needed something to do in the evening.

So, I mean, you know, how did that come about? And also, is, are you gonna feel constrained by that, by that sort of structure?

Jon GraceyGUEST
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.

Jon GraceyGUEST
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.

Jon GraceyGUEST
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.

Jon GraceyGUEST
Like all this other stuff is great and it's fed into everything else that I've done.
