144: A spirit of adventure - with Geoff Major

<p>This week we have a first on <strong><em>The Hobcast Book Show</em></strong><em>. </em>Our guest, <a href="https://geoffmajor.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Geoff Major</strong></a>, is our first to have trekked to the North Pole. Not only that, but he's walked in the Sahara too, and over the years has raised thousands of pounds for charity. But our focus in this interview is on a more recent challenge for Geoff - writing crime fiction. His first novel <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deadline-Geoff-Major-ebook/dp/B08J699VG4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>Deadline</em></strong></a><em> </em>was published in 2020, and his second,<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hell-Hath-Fury-Geoff-Major-ebook/dp/B0BQB4L3DR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> <em>Hell Hath No Fury</em></strong></a><em>, </em>earlier this year. As Geoff explains, he has plans for several more books, but they all have to compete with further charity challenges and running his business consultancy. This is a fascinating interview that explores how it's possible to juggle so many projects at one time.</p><p>Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca examine recent revelations about people's audiobook listening habits, and share their experiences as guests at the wedding of one of the UK's most successful indie authors, Rachel McLean.</p><br><p><a href="https://geoffmajor.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home (geoffmajor.info)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deadline-Geoff-Major-ebook/dp/B08J699VG4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Deadline eBook : Major, Geoff: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hell-Hath-Fury-Geoff-Major-ebook/dp/B0BQB4L3DR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hell-Hath-Fury-Geoff-Major-ebook/dp/B0BQB4L3DR</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
