I was interviewed by Spin South West at the weekend, for one of their Spin Ar Scoil (that's Gaelic for Spin At School) podcasts. The podcasts are recorded for and aimed primarily at secondary school students, with the aim of helping them with their studies and choices when they leave school. So as well as chatting about my career as an author, I talk a lot about my school days too in this interview, and offer some advice for those who might be thinking of following a creative path in life, i.e. those interested in writing or art or something along those lines. It was only meant to be a 10 minute interview, but time zipped by, and it ended up being about half an hour or so! You can listen to the podcast by clicking on this link:

This is the second lengthy podcast I've recently been involved with -- the other was for Limerick Voice (a podcast run by third-level students at Limerick University). You can find the link for that, along with loads of other Darren Shan-related news and updates, in the March issue of my Shanville Monthly newsletter: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly
