He is also currently writing a tie-in novel based on the hit Disney+ show, The Mandalorian.We had a fascinating and fun chat with Adam, talking about how he sold his first books direct to a publisher without an agent (his advice: don;t!), and how he took advantage of a chance opportunity to get into writing tie-in novels. We also hear about the differences in writing tie ins and original novels, and discuss how he remains so prolific.Links:Buy Adam's books hereVisit Adam's websiteWatch The Searchers onlineGet Can You Speak Venusian by Patrick MooreWatch Devs on BBC iPlayerThe Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
