Episode 53: Trevor Wood: I’m never quite sure what we’re getting into on the Jam. In this episode, author and playwright Trevor Wood took me on a journey that weaved through his time in the Royal Navy, then to becoming a playwright, and on to writing his first novel, The Man on the Street. Most writers travel a circuitous path on their way to publishing, but Trevor’s is one of the most interesting we’d had on the show. Buckle up and pour a stiff drink.

While author Trevor Wood and I certainly covered a great deal of ground, from his time in the Royal Navy to writing a debut crime novel, The Man on the Street, this is a pretty accurate depiction of how the conversation went down.
