Tragedy Plus Time

by Adam Cayton-Holland

  Is there anything that you have found particularly gratifying about publishing Tragedy Plus Time? If so, what?

  That Lydia comes to life. That more people get to know how special she is.

  Are you working on anything now? Can you tell us about it?

  I’m working on adapting the book into a movie. And I’m out there doing stand-up. Always.
