This week we're talking to the astonishingly prolific Anthony Horowitz! Anthony has written extensively for young adults, (especially his Alex Rider series), for adults (the Magpie and Moonflower Murder books), for the screen (Including the creation of Foyle's War) and updating both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond legacies with new stories plus many, many more. We discussed forgotten crime authors, funny books, writing inspiration, novels about writers and the sadness of finishing a beloved book.
