    Susan Casey - Adventurer- Author of The Underworld

    Jeniffer speaks with Susan Casey, adventurer and author, via Warwick’s to talk about her experiences studying, observing and interacting with the mysterious deep ocean.  Since 2005, Susan has been writing about subjects such as giant waves and those who chase them and the creatures that live in the depths beneath them in an approachable and captivating way. In this episode she discusses not only her experience in this largely alien world, and the life that inhabits it, but also the implications of exploring it.  This is a must listen for anyone who is curious, in search of wonder, and wanting to learn more about the profound importance of this largely unexplored part of our world.  Susan is the author of The Devil’s Teeth, Voices in the Ocean, The Wave, and others. Her latest book is The Underworld: Journeys To The Depths Of The Ocean.  Susan’s website: https://susancasey.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanlcasey/

  2. Keith Rosson author of Fever House and Devil by Name

    Keith Rosson author of Fever House and Devil by Name

    Keith Rosson is a living testament to how hard work and taking the long road can pay off. He’s the author of several novels, and the award-winning short story collection, Folk Songs For Trauma Surgeons, all published through Meerkat Press. His latest novels, Fever House and The Devil By Name, are published through Random House. And he got an endorsement from Stephen King! No big deal, right?  Though this recent duology is in the horror genre, these novels are character-driven and contain crime thriller elements and punk rock vibes, leaving them almost undefinable. Genre-defying, some may say.  Keith talks to Jeniffer and Chad about his rise into the world of the Big Five and the differences between working with a huge publisher vs a small press. They discuss negotiations, marketing, and the work that goes into all of it. He tells them about how he developed his characters and his writing process, and how punk rock and the city of Portland shaped his vision.  If you like horror, crime fiction, punk rock, or just a good success story, you’ll love this episode.  You can find out more about Keith and buy his books through the links below.  Keith’s Website: https://www.keithrosson.com/ Instagram: @rossonkeith Twitter/X: @keith_rosson

    John Jennings - Author - The Uncertainty Solution: How to Invest with Confidence in the Face of the Unknown

    John Jennings is the author of The Uncertainty Solution, which is a book on investing. But it’s anything but boring. It’s actually super entertaining and insightful, much like John himself.

But where he really excelled was in his process: He had a purpose and intent. He made sure he had a quality product. He takes advantage of marketing opportunities. He’s written, and plans to write, other books. He’s published articles. He has a popular blog. The list goes on… This episode will entertain you even if you’re not interested in investing and finance. It also works as a roadmap to follow if you want to succeed in writing a book to build your brand.
