Welcome everybody! Today’s show is for you writers out there! No matter if you are a bestselling author with a huge backlist or you are just kicking around the idea of writing a book, today's show will have huge value to you!

My guest on the show today is Clay Stafford! This guy has been in the entertainment business since he was 10 years old being discovered as a singer/actor child protégé in rural Appalachia. Did I mention he became a published author at age 10 and started a film production company at age 16?

Clay is an award-winning author, screenwriter, actor, and filmmaker. He has sold over four million books that are available in 16 languages and has seen his film work distributed internationally in over 14 languages.

Clay is the founder and operator of the acclaimed mystery/thriller writer's conference, Killer Nashville, which I will attend this year from August 22-25. If you’re going to be attending, come say howdy and I will buy you a drink at the open bar
