His debut novel A RELUCTANT SPY won the McDermid Debut Award and Bloody Scotland Debut Prize in 2025 and was optioned for television by Carnival Films. The sequel SOLITARY AGENTS is out this month, June 2026. His SF debut, SHARDS OF STARLIGHT, written as David W. Goodman, is coming from Solaris Books in 2027. He also has several published short SF stories and novelettes.</p><p><br></p><p>We had a great time chatting with Dave again, hearing about the emotional rollercoaster of being a debut author, winning two massive debut prizes, and the plot of his highly anticipated sequel, <em>Solitary Agents</em>. We also talk about why release day is actually a starting gun rather than a finish line, and of course he tells us about 5 books that influenced him as an author.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href=\"https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/solitary-agents-david-goodman/b24995e441e6b289?ean=9781035434145&amp;next=t\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Solitary Agents now</a></p><p><a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/davegoodman.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Dave on Bluesky</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.davidgoodman.net/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Dave's website</a></p><p><br></p><p>Support us on Patreon and get great benefits!: <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone</a></p><p><br></p><p>Page One Extra and Page One - The Writer's Podcast are brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
