I am currently in Montreal on the 26th floor of a hotel, overlooking the city, and I've been here for a book festival. This is episode 1 of a new daily podcast. It's kind of amazing that books still exist hundreds of years after their invention. Now we have phones and we have virtual reality and we have laptops and we have Netflix and books still exist. The fact that they're antique technology is one of the things I like about them best. We spend so much time playing with weird gadgetry, it feels good to retire to a chair with a book. It's like an act of defiance. You’re laughing in the face of the AI dystopia coming down the pipe. So I'm that's why I'm here in Montreal, Canada. They speak French here. I don't know if you know that. They speak French here in Canada, in North America. In this part of Canada, they're hanging on to their French identity. I love that. Good on them good on them. The signs are in French. You say bonjour when you enter into a bagel shop. I like that. I’m very impressed with Montreal. I'm looking out of the window now. I'm on the 26th floor. I can see churches. I can see a hospital. I can see the river. It’s a beautiful city and a beautiful book festival - Montreal Mystery Festival. It was great fun. It feels like Sweden, but it's chic because people speak French. A taxi driver told me that French people use stop signs. Because they want to be able to stop and not become annihilated. But in Quebec, in Montreal, this beautiful city, this beautiful Montrealans, they don't use stop signs. Another miniature act of defiance, they say Arrêt. I like the spirit in this place. It's got a good spirit. This is the thing authors do. You think of us in a in a a room writing books, but we also travel a lot and it took me many hours to get here. I had a six hour layover in Heathrow. and I did that stupid thing where I was sure I fly to New York in a couple of weeks for ThrillerFest in about three weeks, I think. And I had the six hour layover, so I was like, okay, I've got plenty of time. I'm going to go for, I don't go for a run in the airport that's too weird, but I go for a long walk. If I'm about to fly for a long haul flight, I like to, you know, get 10,000, 15,000 steps in at the airport. I knew where my gate was, but I was totally wrong. I found myself just before boarding, being at the New York gate, where I'll be three weeks. Not the brightest. I used to I used to travel like Mariah Carey with an enormous suitcase full of stuff I never used, and now just a little tiny thing, backpack. And so I ran to get to the right gate for Montreal and just made the flight six hours I had and I barely made the flight. A fantastic festival. A lot of nice people, great readers. I love festivals. Being a writer or any kind of creative it can feel like you will screaming into the void sometimes, especially where I live in in the woods in Sweden. It's completely silent and sometimes I'm writing books and I'm thinking, you know, does anybody really read this? So to actually fly halfway around the world and meet so many readers who have not only read my books, but like read all my books. It was it makes it feel real. So that's nice. You know, that's a benefit of these kind of events and also meeting bloggers and Instagrammers. They make a big difference, getting the word out and like the thing we all do, which is recommending a TV show, recommending a book, it's so much more powerful having a personal recommendation from a friend than from some hideous algorithm, so that's what they do they they're trusted sources of recommendations.I'm on a plane and I'll be watching a probably Friday night lights. It's about American football in a small town in Texas. I've never seen it before. I saw it on the way out here. Absolutely hooked. Is this a thing people watch or am I again 15 years out of date? I've had an idea. I won't share the idea with you, but I often have a book idea where I'm traveling. I had an idea and I've had two ideas, but one of them I'm unsure about, but I've had one idea that I'm fairly confident will be my like 2029 nine or 2030 novel. Nobody knows where these ideas come from. Stephen King, I think I think he talks about them being like fossils, like they're all there, all the ideas are there. You just have to kind of excavate them, dust them, find them. And I sometimes think it's a bit like being out in a park and the ideas of flying by you, like leaves or petals on the breeze and you just have to notice them and and pick them out of the air when you when they fly by and most people don't see them, this could just be jet lag talking. I'm going to make a cup of tea. I bring a kettle with me that packs flat. It's amazing. It's a life changer for book tours. It's a kettle that goes flat. It's made of silicon. It's weird. It always gets stopped in security, but it's worth it because I can drink tea at all times of the day, which is essential. This is this has been fun.
