Uncorking a Story

Cat Scratch Fever, with Audrey Gale

Listen Later

Audrey Gale long dreamed of being a writer, but never anticipated the circuitous road she’d take to get there. After twenty-plus years in the banking industry, she grew tired of corporate gamesmanship and pursued her master’s in fiction writing at the University of Southern California. She joined me on Uncorking a story to discuss her second novel,The Human Trial, which is the first book in a medical-thriller trilogy inspired by Audrey’s own experiences with the gap between traditional medicine and approaches based on the findings of the great physicists of the 20th Century.
