A wonderful interview, great to hear Noel’s voice, and it took me back to so many points in the novellas. I can’t believe Noel let an interviewer into his room! I don’t think I’d dare let anybody into my home office. They’d need to burrow their way through the papers, books and computer equipment.

Not that we want to give too much away but no burrowing was required, Noel keeps a tidy ship just the kind of place one would expect to see an emerging writer at work.
