We go on to talk about writing from the perspectives of
various genders, sexualities, even species.

conjunction with the release of the new Dan Brown thriller, Inferno.

Jo explains how the power of the podcast led her to this
sweet gig with Kobo.
We go on to talk about the benefits of writing short
fiction, and the possibilities of making further income from short fiction as a
writer.
Jo talks about the power of the internet and how it can make
a person look more important than they are. Alan takes a small amount of issue
with the sentiment!
Jo recorded the first of her stories as a podcast and plans
to do the others. Find that here:
We chat about the beauty of short fiction podcasts.
This leads us to talk about the new audiobook of Jo’s first
thriller, Pentecost, released soon through Gryphonwood Press.
We talk about the choice of voices when it comes to reading
stories for podcasts.
Jo talks about Exodus, the third thriller in her ARKANE
series of novels.
This leads us to talk about how the third book in a writer’s
series can exponentially boost book sales.
Jo explains the new direction she’s going with her next
book, the crime thriller, Desecration. It’s a much darker direction than the ARKANE
series, exploring body mod and death.
We chat about the potential of getting caught in a particular
genre niche as a writer.
