So pleased to be joined by special guest J D Barker, a multiple New York Times Best seller. On the show we hear his crazy story about how he got to know Stephen King. We talk about the collaborations with James Paterson and the chat with Dacre Stoker (Dacre Stoker is the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, the author of the classic novel Dracula. Dacre Stoker manages the Bram Stoker Estate) which turned out to be an interview to co-write the prequel to Dracula (from the notes of Bram Stoker).

Plus some superb writing advice we all need to hear and how being Autistic has helped rather than hindered him.
