NEW SHOW! Welcome to the first episode in a series we're calling THE BOOKS THAT MADE ME. We're delighted to have a very special guest, author of the Shadowbinders Trilogy and new novella Silence Is Silver—it's the one, the only, Andrew Watson (@the_fools_tale)!
In this show, we're asking authors to pick the eight books that made them the author they are today. It's a little bit Desert Island Discs, but totally not that, because we don't want to be sued.
