Hello listeners of the off menu podcast. It is Ed Gamble here from the off menu podcast.

I have a very exciting announcement. I have written my first ever book. I am absolutely

I'm very proud of it. The book is called Glutton, the multicore's life of a very greedy boy.

And it's coming out this October, but it is available to pre-order now, wherever you
