10/03/22 • 65 min

On today's episode, Joe talks with Erin E. Adams about her debut novel JACKAL (out October 4, 2022) and about the true horrors of returning home for a wedding. Erin shares about her process, her research and how her work in theater and screenwriting helped to build such strong pacing. An amazing read anytime, but it's especially perfect as we head into spooky season.
