International superstar author, David Baldacci, joins Simon and Matt for a chat about his novel 'Nash Falls'.

They chat about the 'American Dream', the US economy, feeling jaded with the super wealthy, being angry at the status quo - and how he's put these feelings into a page-turning book.

Could this book have been written 10 years ago? David's not sure...but he know's its a book for now.

They also discuss the follow up novel, 'Hope Rises' - and what David put himself through in the name of research (including training with the Ranger Regiment in Georgia - where he parachuted out of a plane, ran obstacle courses and got dumped in water in a Hummer)

He also talks about his fight with AI companies to protect his (and other authors) work, a lawsuit which has been ongoing for three years. David, and fellow former Lawyer turned bestselling author John Grisham, continue to battle Microsoft and Open AI to save

Dr Who and Broadchurch screenwriter, Chris Chibnall, joins SImon and Matt for a Q&A episode.

They discuss his writing processes, favourite books and authors, jobs he'd have liked to do (if he hadn't become a successful writer) and whether he always finishes books, or not.

We also surprise Chris with a question from Russell T Davies - and - find out who he'd invite to his fantasy dinner party.

Screenwriter and author Chris Chibnall joins Simon and Matt for a natter about his new novel, Broadchurch, Agatha Christie and his inspirations for stories.

Chris discusses his writing routine, holiday parks, sitting on ideas for years before writing them - and - adapting his own novels for the screen.

Here's a little more about his new novel, 'The Parkwood Murders':

For its many repeat customers, Parkwood Holiday Village in west Dorset is a haven – an idyllic woodland, a tranquil lake, customer service around the clock.

Until, just before dawn the day after midsummer, a body is found in the resort’s swimming pool .

Detective Nicola Bridge, exhausted from late nights worrying about her increasingly errant teenage son, faces an endless stream of potential witnesses. But as she speaks to the guests and staff, she soon uncovers an interconnected web of secrets and lies.

Was the killer the guest who lied to his wife about where he was that night?

Was it the arrogant high ropes instructor who’s unable to explain his recent scars?

Or might it be the new resort manager, an impeccably put-together woman with a very big secret

With hundreds of restless guests and staff on site, Nicola knows the clock is ticking to find the killer before they disappear for good.
