Dead & Talking sees the debut of Porter Norton and his spiritual guide, The Gliss.

Porter tries to kill himself as everything goes wrong in his life, but he is saved by a highly sarcastic messenger from somewhere both nebulous and spiritual. To atone for his family sins, he is ordered to right historical wrongs - or else.

He picks up an ensemble of unlikely companions, and armed with a superpower gifted by The Gliss, they investigate the death by firing squad of a WW1 private, shot for spying. This book has caused readers to laugh and cry and you can’t argue with that.

Here’s one of 2 trailers I made for the book. I bust up a really good VW Camper van just to make this.

This video also still has the original book cover. The final and permanent one is the one above!
