Hello, everybody out there in listener land.

Oliver G. here, the host of the Earful Tau podcast.

Thank you for joining me.

This episode was brought to you by you guys.

All of you, all of you, all you listeners, brought this episode to yourself.

And all I ask in return is that when it's over, you turn to someone in your life and say,

have you heard about the Earful Tower podcast?

That's it.

That's all I ask.

And thank you in advance for doing it.

That's the contract.

Now, the episode today is, it's an interesting one.

It is with an Australian author. Her name is

bookshop owner. And she has written two books, the second of which has just come out. I'm holding them both

on my hand. Paris or die is the first one. My Sweet Gillotine is the second one and it's just

come out. And we're going to talk a lot about the near-death experience that she had that

sort of prompted her to write the trilogy, these three

books, the two that are out yet we get into, especially Paris-O-Dai, which I read when it came out,

and I'm looking forward to reading my sweet guillotine as well. In terms of the books,
