We also hear about the differences in writing tie ins and original novels, and discuss how he remains so prolific.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adam-Christopher/e/B00EAC2HDW\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Adam's books here</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.adamchristopher.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Adam's website</a></p><p><a href=\"https://player.bfi.org.uk/rentals/film/watch-the-searchers-1956-online\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch The Searchers online</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Can-You-Speak-Venusian-Independent/dp/0860258025\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Get Can You Speak Venusian by Patrick Moore</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p087gj19/devs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Devs on BBC iPlayer</a></p><p><br></p><p>The Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
