His latest book, <em>All That Lives</em>, is the twelfth in the Inspector Maclean series.</p><p><br></p><p>It was really interesting hearing how James made his breakthrough via self-publishing and how his success there led to traditional publishers bidding to try and get the rights to his novels. We also talked about how he juggles being a farmer with his writing, why publishers always say they want something new, even if that's not always the case, and hear about his latest book, <em>All That Lives</em>. On top of that, we talk about his love of comics and what he has planned in the future.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/books?keywords=james+oswald\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy All That Lives and James's other books now</a></p><p><a href=\"https://jamesoswald.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit James's website</a></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/SirBenfro\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow James on Twitter</a></p><p><br></p><p>Page One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
