Even if you have never been through trauma in your life, chances are high you know or live with someone who has. I just finished - The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma - by Bessel van der Kolk. It made some profound changes in how I frame my and my loved one's mental well being. It might also help guide or inform those dealing with trauma. Just felt it needed a mention.

www.penguin.co.ukIain Banks: A BBC Radio CollectionSelected readings and full-cast dramatisations from across the literary and science fiction of Iain Banks Iain Banks, aka Iain M Banks, came to fame in 1984 with his transfixing debut The Wasp Factory, described as both ‘a work of unparalleled depravity’ and 'a masterpiece'. In 1993 he was acknowledged as one of the Best of Young British Writers, and his numerous bestselling books include The Crow Road, Complicity and the ‘Culture’ sci-fi series. Collected here are three of his best works, as heard on BBC Radio. The Wasp Factory – Iain Banks’ controversial first novel features one of literature’s most unsettling teenage boys. Sixteen-year-old Frank invites us inside his macabre world, as he describes experimenting with explosives, torturing insects – and killing his relatives. But he is not alone in his madness – his brother, Angus, has escaped from a psychiatric hospital and is making his way back home… Joseph McFadden reads this blackly comic cult classic, abridged by multi-award-winning playwright Craig Warner. The State of the Art – Arriving on Earth in 1977, the Culture ship Arbitrary finds a planet on the brink of self-destruction, obsessed with alien concepts such as ‘property’ and ‘money’. When agent Dervley Linter decides to go native, can Diziet Sma change his mind? Antony Sher, Nina Sosanya and Paterson Joseph star in this thrilling sci-fi novella, adapted for radio by Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell. Piece – As he waits to board a plane, Munro recalls two previous journeys. Travelling by bus and then train, he finds himself in parallel arguments started by the books he is carrying, pitching reason against faith. But life is too complicated for there not to be continual coincidences… This radio adaptation by Craig Warner of Iain Banks’ short story stars Bill Paterson. Espedair Street – Told in the style of a Radio 1 documentary, Paul Gambaccini presents the story behind the spectacular rise and tragic fall of the fictional 1970s mega-band, Frozen Gold – from the album deal that set a rock industry record, to the mysterious deaths of two of the band members. At the centre of it all is Weird, the songwriting genius from a Paisley housing scheme, who suddenly finds himself living a life of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll… Starring John-Gordon Sinclair, Louise Beattie, James MacPherson and Steven McNicoll, and featuring original music by Iain Banks.

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Hit the stepper today for 5 minutes. Got a bit overheated and nearly had a panic attack but managed to work through it.
2. Hubs and I finished another audio book. This one wasn’t too bad but I was disappointed by how it ended. It was Flesh House by Stuart MacBride.
3. Hubs is off the next two days. It’s been a very long week for him.
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodNight #AudioBook

Finished #audiobook Impact by Douglas Preston, the third Wyman Ford novel. Good thriller with lots of action, great local flavor of coastal Maine, and a mysterious alien weapon, but I seriously think what Ford's new assistant does in the end is exactly the same as an ending that I recall from a very old scifi story, maybe a short story? ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #bookstodon

Best update to get from your publisher in the morning!

The Pass the Salt audiobook will be narrated by Kevin R Free!

Kevin sent us the raw files of Pass the Salt last week and they are
currently with our audio editor. She will have them back to us by the end
of next week. I will send you the teasers as soon as they are ready.

I love audio in part because of the canonical pronunciations.* Proper nouns in fantasy settings in English-language books bedevil me.

Is that "C" at the front hard or soft? Is that "Ch" Greek? Is that final "e" English, Greek, or French?

Don't get me started on the initial "J"...

*That assumes they checked with the author, which is risky. But as long as it's consistent within a book or across a series, it'll do
