For these shows I'll also be sharing stories and reading from my new Mull Mysteries novel, ‘An Island Burning’. The themes linking my two new releases reflect on war, childhood, place, identity, memory, family, survival — shining a light on hope, empathy and understanding — I hope just what we need in this fractured world. The concept of “home” in particular, and how it travels with us, always fascinates me, and I’m excited to bring my home island to society far and wide.                                                       Splash Stories Podcast every 1st of the Month   https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/episodes Apple  tinyurl.com/4p3nzs3p Spotify tinyurl.com/2jj75vrx FB: www.facebook.com/thesplashclub Splash Stories Video Reel by Dizqo https://www.facebook.com/markDizQo/ Audio Editing Generation Studio  https://www.generationstudio.co.uk Tickets on general sale now http://mullhistoricalsociety.com/  See less Support the show Get in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.com www.facebook.com/thesplashclub Join Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/support https://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/ https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/ https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/ https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/ https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/ https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/ https://www.instagram.com/sohoradio https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEver https://www.pearllowe.co.uk https://www.supergrass.com https://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/ Terrorvision Tequila  : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdF https://linktr.ee/thesoupdragons https://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildheart https://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/ https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/ EMF  www.emf-theband.com
