The Nemesis Directive

06/18/20 • 36 min

I'm flying solo in this episode of The Writing Community Podcast. I received a bit of bad news from my extended family last week and it threw me into a bit of a funk. Even though I had the week off from work, I still didn't get as much accomplished as I had originally hoped and I didn't record any interviews to share for this episode.

So I decided to do my first full solo episode and read the first twenty pages of my unpublished book, The Nemesis Directive. It's an adult thriller and as such it contains adult topics and language. If you're around little ones or if you don't want to hear the adult language then you might want to skip this episode and tune in next week.

If you haven't already, please subscribe and leave a quick of the show on whatever platform you use to listen to podcasts. It really helps to spread the show to a wider audience which helps me to bring on high profile authors and publishing experts you want to hear from.

As always, please leave me a comment on my website or reach out to me on Twitter. I would love to hear from you.
