Thank you to everybody who came to the Salon LIVE Online with Russell T Davies and Ruth Coker Burks - hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of kind clever people from all around the world. I don’t know where to start with the heroic Ruth or the genius Russell: they were both incredible. What they responded to was all that love and open-ness.

In our first Salon on Demand, Damian interviews SJ Watson, author of the global smash Before I Go To Sleep, about his dark new novel Final Cut. They also talk about breaking into publishing, being a working-class writer and how to plot a thriller.
SJ's jumpy new story is all about time and memory - how and what we remember and how and what we try to forget. It follows ambitious young documentary filmmaker Alex who wants to document life in a small village and finds herself mysteriously drawn to Blackwood Bay. Once prosperous it’s now run-down, and behind the faded facades there are more secrets than Alex could ever hope to find… Nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay – or does it?
It's a joy to have SJ back at the Salon as he continues pushing the boundaries of the genre he’s celebrated for reinvigorating.
Salon On Demand tickets are just £5 and available here. Enjoy!
