Now that you've (literally) heard Chapter One of Krelle's Inferno, take a listen as JDK answers questions about the book from Stacy Heller, his friend and a connector-extraordinaire. Learn more about where the book's title and characters originated, JDK's writing process, and hear about some of the locations readers will visit in the book.

It's a freewheeling discussion that includes everything from crashing airplane metaphors and fashion critiques to not-so-oblique references to one of JDK's favorite musicians and to a visually-challenged, pint-sized, and beloved right fielder with an overactive imagination and a massive crush on a lifeguard.

Now you GOTTA listen, right?

Open to Page One - A Reading From Krelle's Inferno

Hey there, all you cool cats and kittens! Grab a snack, a beverage of your choice, get comfy, and settle in to listen to the first chapter of my novel. It's like an old-time radio show, but without the campy studio-manufactured background noises and cheesy accents. Instead, it's me in my campy, ramshackle blanket-fort reading my own words! I’m so excited for you to finally meet Geren Krelle, get a sense of his character, the dilemma he faces, and the world he must confront.

Enjoy!

Thunderstruck

The bullet holes we build from come in all shapes and sizes, from all sorts of sources.

In this episode, my great friend Cyra Sadowl stops in to discuss her own life rebuild from the wound of her late husband - and my close friend - Matt's sudden death. Cyra was also my chief creative consultant and initial editor on Krelle's Inferno, so our respective rebuilds wove in and around that story. We dig into that at length, discuss our favorite memories of Matt, Cyra takes us back from her darkest days to her brighter ones today, and we laugh a lot. Matt would've approved.

If you are in the middle of a season of grief, Cyra's story and writing could help you take your own Next Indicated Steps out of the darkness.
