The brilliant Felix Mosse joins us on Confessions of a Book Collector this week to discuss the unexpected pause that led him away from the stage and towards The Mistral, the first instalment in his epic fantasy trilogy and an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

He shares how more than 150 lore documents helped him construct a world powered by a mysterious natural force, why its climate change parallels only emerged through the editing process and what his years as an actor and script editor taught him about character, dialogue and rewriting.

Felix also reflects on the extraordinary response to his debut, why he believes writers should demand honesty from their editors and the biggest influences on his approach to fantasy.

Ahead of the release of Styx: The River next week, bestselling author, poet and playwright Nikita Gill joined us to discuss what drives her to place mythology’s overlooked women at the centre of their own stories.

She explains why she was drawn to Styx: a powerful goddess eclipsed by her thousands of siblings, whose story allowed her to explore the very modern pressures of being an eldest daughter. From carrying everyone else’s burdens to swallowing your own rage and longing to be truly seen, Nikita explains the experiences that shaped her version of the goddess, and why Styx ultimately became a love story about sisterhood, chosen family and finding your place in the world.

She also takes us back to where her bestselling series began, with the extraordinary origins of Hekate: a story that first appeared to her as a recurring dream and refused to leave her alone until she wrote it. Nikita reveals why she scrapped her first attempt and started again in verse, why she begins her stories with the ending and works backwards and what it’s been like taking Hekate from page to stage.

What happens when falling in love means walking away from the life you thought you were called to live?

This week on Confessions of a Book Collector, David is joined by Stephanie Sy-Quia, author of Goldsboro’s Fresh Ink book of the month choice: A Private Man, to uncover the remarkable family story behind her debut novel.

Inspired by the revelation that Stephanie’s grandfather had been a Catholic priest before leaving the Church to marry her grandmother, A Private Man explores a love caught between faith and conscience, and the enormous cost of choosing a different life.

Stephanie discusses turning a painful family secret into fiction, why she wanted to take both love and religious vocation seriously, and how she made theology sexy.

She and David also explore the upheaval of the 1960s, feminism and Vatican II, the shame surrounding those who left the priesthood, and shares her honest experience of writing your first novel.

Two new chapters for Goldsboro Books...⁉️

This week, David has some rather exciting news to share.

After months of work behind the scenes, Goldsboro Books is getting ready to begin not one, but two new chapters, each taking the business somewhere new, whilst staying true to the love of books, collecting and bringing readers together that has shaped Goldsboro since the very beginning.

David reflects on how far Goldsboro has come since he and Daniel started the business in 1999, why physical bookshops and spaces for readers matter more than ever, and what it means to keep looking forward in an industry (and a world) that has changed enormously.
