What does it really take to succeed as an author in today's publishing landscape? Bestselling writer John Marrs doesn't hold back in this refreshingly candid conversation about the realities behind his thirteen-book career journey.From writing his first five books on trains and during lunch breaks to receiving 80 rejections (some with just "NO" written in red marker), John Marrs demolishes the myth of overnight success and the perfect writing environment. His path from self-publishing to having "The One" adapted for Netflix reveals both the highs and unexpected challenges of reaching a wider audience.With remarkable honesty, John Marrs discusses the business decisions that shaped his career, including his transition from speculative fiction to psychological thrillers because "you've got to go where the money is." He explains why he still doesn't have a literary agent despite his success, how he approaches marketing and social media promotion, why he prefers Instagram over public appearances and his new novel, You Killed Me First. You Killed Me FirstThree women. Three smouldering secrets. Who will make it out alive?It's 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. As the smoke thickens, panic sets in – she's moments away from being engulfed in flames. How did it come to this?Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street. The three women soon fabricate the perfect pretence of friendship, but each harbours her own deadly secret – and newcomer Liv senses something is terribly wrong beneath the polished exteriors.As cracks widen in the veneer of perfection and lies escalate out of control, tension ignites. Bonfire Night is approaching and someone is set to burn…But who will it be?Follow John MarrsSend us a textSupport the show"Enjoying 'The Conversation'?

My guest for this episode is author Liz Williams, who joined me to talk about her new book Rough Music: Folk Customs, Transgression and Alternative Britain. Liz holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge and is a widely published journalist and writer of both fiction and non-fiction. In Rough Music she examines the influence of themes such as transgression and shame in British folk customs, from ancient times to the present day. The book investigates a variety of ceremonial traditions in Britain such as May Day parades, Bonfire Night and other seasonal events and reveals the roots and roles of violence, mockery, protest and public shaming in some of these. In the interview I talk with Liz about her background and interest in this subject matter and the connections between some of the customs detailed in her book and otherworldly folkloric entities such as Woodwoses, the Green Man and Black Shuck. We also discuss the debate around the origins of some of these traditions and how this contrasts and compares with the timeless quality that they possess, which is something that they share with a lot of paranormal phenomena. You can find out more about Liz and her book Rough Music at https://reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/rough-music and further details on the 2025 Black Shuck festival are available at https://blackshuckfestival.com/.

Episode 366 of The Playstation Show UK (TpSUK) Welcome to November's edition of The Playstation Show UK. This show was recorded on Bonfire Night so it was only right to have a quick-bonfire quiz. Thankfully Krook ran out of questions after 8 so it was short & sweet and easy to skip. Also as you can see from the episode title, there is shame as one of the hosts forgets the point of modern gaming. Trophies yo?Enjoy.

The numbers are in, the votes have been counted and it's now confirmed...satisfaction ratings across TV, Radio and News have seen a year-on-year increase since the first of three surveys launched in 2022. The public has given GBC the thumbs up, believing it serves and reflects all aspects of the community. 540 people took part in a survey carried out both online and face to face with record breaking results across GBC TV and Radio Gibraltar. GBC CEO James Neish and Head of Radio Ian Daniels broke down the statistics.Last night Gibraltar Cultural Services and the Gibraltar Scouts hosted a Bonfire Night at Little Bay car park to mark Guy Fawkes. Based on the success of the event it looks like it could be a staple in Gibraltar's social calendar. Robin Sheppard-Capurro was there with his family and told us what the ambiente was like.And of course, there is another set of numbers that has us talking today – the US Election Results – which has seen Donald Trump return to the White House. Kaitlyn Morro is one of many who has been following closely...she's an American who has made Gibraltar her home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here's a very timely story for you from Tales Around the Teapot.
It's a taste of the Guy Fawkes nights of old... when many communities in the province held large bonfires. The CBC's Jeremy Eaton joined us live from the site of the blaze-to-be in the town of Portugal Cove-St. Philip's. (Guest-host Todd O'Brien with Jeremy Eaton)
Tomorrow night, November 5, is when many in England will celebrate an occasion known as Bonfire Night. They celebrate this day to mark the moment King James I was saved from the Gunpowder Plot (along with many in his government) when Guy Fawkes was thwarted in his attempt to blow up England's Parliament using gunpowder hidden beneath the building during an official government meeting. The event was a terrorist attack of the 17th century, to put the plot in contemporary terms, and the aftermath in England impacted William Shakespeare personally. Newly minted as the King's Men in 1603, the gunpowder plot is taking place just two years later, in 1605. Just one month after the Gunpowder Plot in December of 1605, Shakespeare writes King Lear, which contains many nods to the state of James' government, but the real play most connected to The Gunpowder Plot has to be Macbeth, which I argue was the play whose performance would silence all doubt about William Shakespeare's involvement, or suspected treasonous connections, in the aftermath of The Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Here today to walk us through the history of this event, and help us understand how the Gunpowder Plot connected to Shakespeare, is our guest, James Travers.

Ian McMillan is joined by four guests for more poetry and performance . After a year characterised by wet weather, Alan Connor constructs a poem from 188 Words for Rain collected on travels around the country for his new book with that title. Comedian and writer Isy Suttie treats us to a new song written with the approaching Bonfire Night in mind, but the fireworks in the studio don't only come from her guitar. The other guests get a chance to join in too. Poet Pascale Petit opens up her first novel which took 17 years to write, examining the differences and similarities between poetry and prose and Deryn Rees Jones reads from her own work and takes on this week's neon line, "all the worse things come stalking in".

Congratulations to Keir Starmer! It took 14 years for us to realise how corrupt and sleazy the Conservatives were but Starmer has achieved the same result in just 14 weeks. They are all the same, self serving pigs with their snouts in the trough. Sacked Sue Gray isn't responsible for Starmer's problems HE is. He took the suits, the cash, the tickets, the executive box, he cut the winter fuel allowance, gave away our industry to China, spent £22 BILLION on carbon capture, released dangerous prisoners and all in the first 14 weeks! However despite their bleating the inept Tories would have done the same and that is what is so depressing. Change my arse! When is Bonfire Night? Support me at www.buymeacoffee.com/jongaunt

Here are a few notable ones:1605 - The Gunpowder Plot: On November 5, 1605, a group of conspirators led by Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the British Parliament in what is now known as the Gunpowder Plot. Their plan was to assassinate King James I and install a Catholic monarch, but the plot was foiled, and Fawkes was arrested and executed. This event is commemorated in the United Kingdom as Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night.1872 - Susan B. Anthony's illegal vote: Suffragist Susan B. Anthony cast a ballot in the U.S. presidential election, despite women not having the right to vote at the time. She was subsequently arrested and fined $100, but her actions were a part of the broader women's suffrage movement.1917 - The Balfour Declaration: On November 5, 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild expressing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. This declaration had a significant impact on the establishment of the State of Israel.1940 - Franklin D. Roosevelt re-elected: In the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was re-elected to an unprecedented third term in office, defeating Republican candidate Wendell Willkie in the presidential election.1994 - The world's longest tunnel: The Channel Tunnel, connecting the United Kingdom and France, was officially opened.

Double, double, toil and trouble is not so far removed from what becomes a modern chant, remember, remember the 5th of November. As always, history shows us what's possible. And in 1605 and 1606, Shakespeare gives voice to the terrors of the time in plays that continue to enthrall us today: King Lear and Macbeth.Show Notes:Carol Ann Lloydwww.carolannlloyd.com@shakeuphistorypatreon.com/carolannlloydThe Tudors by Numbers, published by Pen and SwordCreative Director: Lindsey LindstromMusic: History by Andy_Grey via Audio Jungle, Music Broadcast LicenseLet's shake up history together!@shakeuphistory

Pip and Stella have breakfast together. Pip thinks they should go to the Grey Gables ball, and they plan to look for matching suits to wear. Pip visits Lynda to secure tickets and helps her manhandle a pumpkin. Pip tells Lynda that she and Stella are attending together. Lynda compliments them and thinks back to how she and Robert fell in love. Helen accosts Oliver to seek certainty over what Bridge Farm will be supplying to Grey Gables. She has finalised bespoke packaging and a new logo now. If Grey Gables doesn't open it's really bad news for Bridge Farm. Oliver can only apologise. He assures her they will open but may be delayed with so many teething problems. Helen is conscious of adding to Oliver's stress. He looks exhausted. Lynda tracks down Oliver who's discovered the hot water isn't working in the hotel bedrooms. It's just one of many issues – no wonder Adil was feeling the strain. Oliver's feeling overwhelmed by what still needs to be done. He decides that the gala opening has to be cancelled as there's no way they'll be ready on time. Pip's gutted that the Grey Gables Ball has been cancelled. Lynda goes to talk to Jolene and Kenton about reinstating the village Bonfire Night. Stella and Pip set their sights on going to that instead. Then Pip raises the idea of living together but Stella doesn't want to rush. They share a cuddle. Helen's on the phone to Pat while filling the washing machine. She finds a can of red paint in Henry's P.E. kit. Oh no, it was Henry!
