  • JA JANCE (The Girl From Devil's Lake) is on the Radar!

    New York Times Bestselling author JA JANCE joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss The Girl From Devil's Lake!  In this wide-ranging discussion, JA offers a reflection on her legendary writing career and most beloved characters. What cured a serious case of writer's block? What inspired some of her worst bad guys? And serial killers ... here, we experience the making of one. We talk about people broken through loss, abuse, or even mental health concerns. Are these problems too big to address in today's young people? Being the storyteller she is, JA shares her actual experience with a killer that shaped her life in many respects! We also discuss changes in both law enforcement training and in the criminal element -- small town jails used to be filled with nonviolent offenders, maybe a handful of drunks, but now they're holding human traffickers and cartel members. What do these shifts mean for law enforcement today? Are they out-armed? Are crimes that much more complex? Join us for a fantastic discussion!
