Eliot Peper is the author of Veil, one of only a handful of novels written about SRM. He talks to Andrew on the show about his interest in the subject, and the creative and business process of being a novelist. This episode is a super interesting foray into a fiction genre of which both of us at reviewer 2 are big fans, (Clare is reading it at the moment). Eliot is a successful writer and has written a number of novels which you can find at his website below. https://www.eliotpeper.com https://t...
