Ever wondered what it's really like to be an author in today’s publishing world? Join us for an enlightening conversation with the talented Jo Jakeman as she pulls back the curtain on the realities of an author's journey. From the exhilarating moment of landing an agent to the rollercoaster ride of book sales, Jo shares the highs and lows that TV glamorization often overlooks. As we approach 2025, we dive into the pressures of book tours, the unexpected twists of defamation lawsuits, and the resilience needed to thrive amid it all.
In our exploration of storytelling across different mediums, we talk about Jo's inspiration behind her new novel, "One Bad Apple".
One Bad Apple
One murder. A school full of suspects...
Welcome to Aberfal Boys High School. Independent jewel of academic and sporting excellence in the South-west -- until the headmaster is murdered in his study. And now the Year Seven School Mums' WhatsApp Group really do have something to talk about...
Clare Withoutani: OMG have you heard about Newhall?!!!
Becky Rupertsmum: Helen-Louise just texted. Can't believe it.
Asha: Not heard anything. What's happened?
Pam Geoffreysmum: What's he done this time? They're going co-ed, aren't they? I knew this would happen.
Clare Withoutani: Can't believe it, Becky. I'm in shock.
Pam Geoffreysmum: Are we going co-ed?
Becky Rupertsmum: No, Pam. Newhall died.
Pam Geoffreysmum: Oh GOD. Seriously??!! Can't believe it. So sad. He'll be such a loss to the school. The boys will be devastated. Will the school be offering grief counselling?
Rose Oliversmum: Anyone know what pages they're meant to do for chemistry? Ollie's homework diary says 'do questions 1-4' but no page numbers!
As the resulting police investigation reveals more and more of Aberfal's long-hidden secrets the list of suspects who wanted the headmaster dead grows by the day. And far from being a glittering jewel of exclusivity and excellence, it would appear Aberfal Boys High School is rotten to its core...
