Hi Larkspur Listeners! I know it's been a while. Will there be a season 2? or Season 3?! The answer is yes, but not yet. I've been writing a lot of short stories and novels, and the newest one just came out in November. It's creepy, it's set in one of the wildest places in southern California, and it's called BENEATH THE SALTON SEA. This is a companion piece to the novel. I hope you give it a listen and enjoy it. And if you do, why not pick up a copy of the book wherever books are sold?
