Death is described as “'Death' Andy N's secondfull-length novel is as much a sequel to his first novel 'Birth' (described as a charming come-of-age novel) as facing the end of something else altogether.

Having navigated the tumultuous waters of youth andfound his voice as a writer after having everything pulled out, 'Death' leads us to what happens next, picking up where 'Birth' left off, charting his journey through the complexities of adulthood, how his and everybody's lifearound him changes, love, loss and the ever-faithful present shadow of mortality and life itself.

Speaking with the same raw honesty and poetic gracethat defined 'Birth,' 'Death' is a book that builds an unforgettable narrative that explores the very fabric and the bittersweet beauty of life and the acceptance of its inevitability, and wherever it may lead to next.

'Death' is a powerful and moving testament to thehuman condition, a reflection on the enduring power of art, and a reminder to cherish every precious moment and live each moment like it is your last.”

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Poetry Podcast) features the return of our friend, Kate Wilson talking about her new poetry collection 'The Impossibility of Love'. ‘The Impossibility of Love’ it is stated takes the reader on a journey through a gallery of Vincent Van Gogh’s best loved paintings. The poems in this collection draw inspiration from Van Gogh’s works of art, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and memory. This ekphrastic sequence evokes the blistering colour of Van Gogh’s work in wheatfields, on moonlit plazas, and under starry skies. In this landscape the poet finds hope and a potency of feeling which often borders on destructive. The paintings become both a means of escape and a way of deriving meaning as they intersect with the poet’s own experience. Writing to Van Gogh with great tenderness, Wilson presents the reader with a collection which can be read as an extended love letter to one of our greatest artists. She explores the tragic story of his life, posing the question: what does it mean to live with such intensity? The collection has being published by Bosporus Press but copies can be purchased from Kate directly at http://www.katejwilson.co.uk/#poetrypodcast #podcast #spokenword #poetry #podcast #spokenwordpodcast #vangogh #VanGoghpoetry

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Artist Podcast) and featuring Amanda Nicholson as special guest features the debut of a longstanding friend of ours, Phoenix Andrews.

Phoenix advises he is a "writer living in West Sussex, UK. I started out as a musician, playing piano, writing and recording songs, but soon fell in love with writing poetry and short stories. This has since progressed into novels. I am passionate about writing in the genres of crime fiction and horror and my first published book, Blood Cells is pure testimony to this. Based around a small group of central characters, I have included a a dark element of conspiracy which, I have to confess, is another guilty pleasure of mine, however farfetched! Don't worry, I don't believe everything I read.

Blood Cells is the first in a series of novels centered around these characters, with a dark, supernatural theme running through them which goes high up to the top levels of government. I hope you enjoy the thrilling ride!"
