In this episode, Gare and I chat with our long time favorite John Marrs! John shares his journey from journalist to author, his out of order writing process, why he doesn’t always think his books are that dark (LOL), and a wild group of frogs in his yard (yes, I said frogs).
Listen to our whole conversation to hear about:
What it was like getting his first book idea, writing it, and self publishing it
His transition to traditional publishing
His hybrid plotter-pantser process
The snacks he has nearby for writing
The time he got arrested in America
A unique encounter with frogs in his backyard
