I was stoked to get the chance to be on the @thedadlitpod and chat with Dan.
To merge the roles of a parent, writer, and reader is super cool, and Dan has a knack for finding interesting ways to discuss them.

Happy release to @crimewritermatt , whose novel SECOND LIES THE SON is now available in paperback.
I’m a huge fan of Phillips’ A GOOD RUSH OF BLOOD and TO BRING MY SHADOW.
Congrats, man! Can’t wait to read your new one! (Great title, by the way)

I think it was Ray Bradbury who said, “Touch the manuscript every day.”
I believe in this, even if it’s only for 20 minutes. Stay in it.

The red sun rose over wide fields and long haul trucks navigated the road as I listened to Josh Brolin’s memoir on audio.
“Parents are the bones we (kids) cut our teeth on, but they never talk about the parents’ own teeth.”

@joelnedecky.bsky.social’s THE BROKEN DETECTIVE details a two-week period in which PI Jake Joelsen tries to complete a missing-persons case before heading to prison for assault, pulling together enough money to make sure his mother is cared for during his absence.

Ferris and Miller discuss Miller’s style, as well as people and other art forms that inspired his work.
They even touch on Miller’s relationship with alcohol, and what role anger played and plays in his life.
