We sat down with A.J. West, an award-winning former BBC journalist and broadcaster hailing from Buckinghamshire. With contributions to national newspapers, magazines, and appearances on esteemed television programs such as BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain, and This Morning, A.J. West's career has been nothing short of illustrious. Not to mention his unforgettable stint on the legendary reality television show, Big Brother, which catapulted him into households across the nation.

Born to primary school teachers, A.J. found solace in the pages of books, igniting a passion for writing that eventually led him to traverse the globe producing captivating news programs and documentaries. Now residing in South London with his husband, Nicholas Robinson, A.J. reflects on his journey from a shy schoolboy to a prominent figure in the media landscape.

Tune in as we delve into A.J.'s literary influences, including Thomas Hardy, M.R. James, and E.F. Benson, cultivated during his studies in English Literature at the University in Lancashire. From his humble beginnings as a 7-year-old sharing tales of Tutankhamen's tomb, to the realization of his childhood ambition, A.J. shares his profound connection to storytelling and the enduring impact of his craft.

As Thomas Hardy once mused, "Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened." Join us as we uncover the extraordinary journey of A.J. West on The Writing Community Chat Show.

We discussed writing #historicalfiction, the #publishingindustry, writing themes, & his latest book, #TheBetrayalsofThomasTrue, which is set for release on July 04th! Pre order it here: https://amzn.to/4aJDjI9
