In this episode I explore the origins of my second novel, NOODLE. Where did that title come from? What is this creature? What is this story really about? Why the hell is this story the FIFTH in the series, but the SECOND one written?

When I suggest that “writing what you know” can lead to poor writing, I’m referring to relying solely on external, firsthand experiences—not the emotional experiences that give storytelling its depth.

Greetings! In this delightfully stream-of-consciousness episode, we travel back in time and work our way forward to uncover where my first novel came from.

How did a passion for acting evolve into a love of writing novels nearly 20 years later? What inspired the transition from writing screenplays to break into the industry to writing novels simply for the love of storytelling?

Join me as I connect the dots, revisit the unexpected turns, and explore how one creative ambition gave rise to another.

In the inaugural episode of the McMonstermaker™ Podcast, Drew takes a trip down memory lane to explore the experiences that sparked his lifelong fascination with horror and, above all, creature design.
