Award Winning and Multi-Talented author Alex Segura joins Dan to chat about his work in mysteries and thrillers and also in comics.

Author Jill Baguchinsky chats with Dan about her new YA Horror book: SO WITCHES WE BECAME. This fabulous book speaks to so many things in our current experience. It's dangerous to try to hold down others and we learn what can happen as a consequence. It's quite a Tour de Force. Highly recommend.

NY Times and USA Today and Publishers' Weekly best selling author Karen Robards joins Dan to chat about SOME MURDERS IN BERLIN. This novel is set in 1943 Nazi Germany. Elin, a Danish profiler, is brought to Berlin to work with the local authorities to solve murders committed by a serial killer during the world war. And everyone has secrets that might get them killed. The stakes to succeed couldn't be higher. This book is a true "page-turner".
