William l. Myers Jr, attorney and author of the Philapelphia Legal series welcomes attorney and best-selling author Scott Turow to the Writing Wrongs studio.

About Scott: Scott Turow is the author of eleven bestselling works of fiction, including Identical, Innocent, Presumed Innocent, and The Burden of Proof, and two nonfiction books, including One L, about his experience as a law student. His books have been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, and have been adapted into movies and television projects. .

About the Last Trial: At 85, Alejandro "Sandy" Stern, a brilliant defense lawyer with his health failing but spirit intact, is on the brink of retirement. But when his old friend Dr. Kiril Pafko, a former Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, is faced with charges of insider trading, fraud, and murder, his entire life's work is put in jeopardy, and Stern decides to take on one last trial. In a case that will be the defining coda to both men's accomplished lives, Stern probes beneath the surface of his friend's dazzling veneer as a distinguished cancer researcher. As the trial progresses, he will question everything he thought he knew about his friend. Despite Pafko's many failings, is he innocent of the terrible charges laid against him? How far will Stern go to save his friend, and will he ever know the truth? Stern's duty to defend his client and his belief in the power of the judicial system both face a final, terrible test in the courtroom, where the evidence and reality are sometimes worlds apart.

Writing Wrongs Radio author and host William L. Myers Jr. sits down with international best-selling author Jeff Deaver.

A former journalist, folksinger and attorney, Jeffery Deaver is an international number-one bestselling author. His novels have appeared on bestseller lists around the world. His books are sold in 150 countries and have been translated into over twenty-five languages. He has sold 50 million books worldwide. The author of over thirty-five novels, three collections of short stories and a nonfiction law book, and a lyricist of a country-western album, he’s received or been shortlisted for dozens of awards around the world.

ABOUT THE GOODBYE MAN: Colter Shaw, the itinerant reward-seeker readers met in The Never Game, returns in a new adventure. The life of a reward-seeker is full of unexpected turns. When Colter Shaw’s pursuit of two young men accused of terrible hate crimes takes a shocking turn, he finds himself pursuing an unlikely lead in the aftermath of the job. In an effort to save the life of a young woman, and possibly others, he travels to the wilderness of Washington state to investigate a mysterious organization. It might exist to help those beset by tragedy and loss…or it might be a dangerous cult, under the sway of a captivating leader. As he peels back the layers of truth, Shaw finds that some – from the group or elsewhere – will stop at literally nothing to keep their secrets hidden forever. And all the while Shaw must also try to unravel an equally deadly enigma: locating and deciphering a message hidden by his father years ago, just before his death, a message that itself will have life-and-death consequences.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes author Dana King to the studio. Dana King has earned Shamus Award nominations for two of his Nick Forte novels, A Small Sacrifice and The Man in the Window. He also writes the Penns River novels, of which the fifth novel in the series, Pushing Water was released by Down & Out Books last week. Colin Campbell, author of the Jim Grant series, said of Pushing Water, ““An extraordinary voice. A mix of Pelecanos, Leonard and Wambaugh.” Dana’s work has appeared in the anthologies The Black Car Business, Unloaded 2, The Shamus Sampler 2, and Blood, Guts, and Whiskey, and he’s a regular participant in Noir at the Bar readings in the Washington DC area.

Just because Penns River is an economic backwater doesn’t mean it’s immune from current events. An active shooter at a local discount department store leaves several people dead and the shooter in the wind. Maybe. It’s hard to say as the man arrested at the scene definitely shot someone but claims to be a Good Guy with a Gun. Meanwhile, a Canadian fugitive lands in town and pulls a job to tide him over while his cache of cash makes its way across the border. He and his partner—a local just dumb enough to serve a purpose—see an opportunity and begin a robbery spree while the police focus on clearing the mass shooting. The usual small-town hijinks still go on: There’s a robbery in the new strip club, an old woman wanders off, a domestic situation that starts as an argument over cookies turns violent, and the widower of a past victim needs attention. The Canadian Mountie who came to town hunting the fugitive may be helpful or more trouble than he’s worth.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes back to the studio Southern author Claire Fullerton.

Little Tea is Claire's 4th novel and is set in the Deep South. It is the story of the bonds of female friendship, healing the past, and outdated racial relations. Little Tea is the August selection of the Pulpwood Queens, a Faulkner Society finalist in the William Wisdom international competition, and a finalist in the Chanticleer Review's Somerset award. From Claire: "Music radio led me to the music business, and the music business led me to Los Angeles. During those years, I wrote a creative, weekly column for The Malibu Surfside News, and submitted to writing contests and magazines as I focused on developing my craft. I wrote a paranormal mystery about a woman who suspects she has lived before, and titled it A Portal in Time. Vinspire Publishing published the book, so I decided to show them the manuscript of my Irish novel. Vinspire Publishing published it under the title Dancing to an Irish Reel the following year. My third novel is titled Mourning Dove. It's a sins-of-the-father, Southern Family Saga, set in 1970's and 1980's Memphis. It was published by Firefly Southern Fiction in June of 2018, and to date, has won five book awards. Little Tea released in May 2020. It's set in the Deep South, in three locations: Memphis, Tennessee; Como, Mississippi; and Greers Ferry Lake in Heber Springs, Arkansas. It's a story about female friendships and healing the past.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes author Ashley E Sweeney to the studio. Ashley has this to say about herself and her writing:

"I’ve been long enamored with underserved women’s voices. My technique to hitch a heroine to history dovetails with a fact that (unfortunately) didn’t surprise me: women’s stories make up only a fraction of narratives set in the American West. There are as many tales waiting to be told as the day is long on a warm July day in New Mexico or Wyoming or Montana or anywhere under the wide western skies.

My newest novel, Answer Creek, introduces a stoic and hardy protagonist who braves the rigors of the Oregon-California Trail as a member of the ill-fated Donner Party. In Answer Creek, I tackle deep—and even taboo—topics: starvation, madness, murder, and yes, cannibalism. Although Ada Weeks is a fictional character, she, and many other young women like her, traveled the Oregon-California Trail in the 1840s and 1850s. Their struggles were more similar than different, including that most of them were bound largely by the decisions of others (namely men—husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles), rather than their own.

As a product of the 20th century, I find our foremothers’ challenges daunting and constraining. I wouldn’t have made an ideal pioneer woman (I’m too opinionated and outspoken, and, frankly, not that tough). So I infuse Ada Weeks with qualities I admire and urge her to speak up against injustice and misogyny and foolhardiness. Does it change the outcome? Perhaps not. But it changes her."

Adam Dunn steps into the Interrogation Room to answer questions about his writing, editing, and process, and how that specifically helped him create his latest release, entitled "Fractus Europa." Adam's an accomplished author and editor who’s written the "More" Series, which includes the novels "Rivers of Gold," "The Big Dogs," and "Saint Underground."

"Fractus Europa" is a collection of stories Adam coedited with the late Eric C. Anderson, a former US intelligence officer and author of the "New Caliphate" trilogy and a cyberthriller called "Byte." "Fractus Europa" features stories from a number of accomplished authors, journalists, and professionals, and includes tales of American journalists uncovering Russian secrets in Moscow, healthcare workers struggling to keep the NHS system afloat in post-Brexit England, and a Ukrainian soldier reconciling his pre- and post-war identities.

In this episode, Adam and host Gavin Reese discuss the potential near-future of Europe and the EU; helping professionals and specialists write reality-based fiction for the first time; economic turbulence as a driving and inspiring force for fiction writers; the necessity of humor amid dark fiction; how Dick Marchenko retasked the traditional detective story; and how governments may effectively retool their citizen workforce to sustain work in a robotics-based economy.

This is an incredibly important episode for thriller authors who want to compose stories that seemingly predict tomorrow's headlines today.
