Hello, listeners! I’ve got a special surprise for you this week. Instead of doing our typical Friday news cast, I’m sharing a recent discussion I had with author Damian Dibben about his latest novel, The Colour Storm. Set in the cutthroat art-world of Renaissance Venice, The Colour Storm is about the search for a new color. The daring young painter, Giorgione, is in the fight of his life to beat his rivals and find it first. It’s a searing tale of creation, ambition, rivalry and passion at one of the most seismic turning points in history, and it’s filled with characters both familiar and new, and is full of unexpected turns. It’s an excellent read and one that art lovers are sure to enjoy.  Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts and FOLLOW on Spotify Instagram / Facebook / YouTube Buy The Colour Storm here!
