Bios:
Daniel Cross Turner: Daniel Cross Turner’s creative writing has been published by Birmingham Poetry Review, Five Points, James Dickey Review, Literary Matters, Talking River, and Hub City Press, among other venues. In addition to dozens of critical essays, he has published three books: a scholarly monograph on contemporary Southern poetry, Southern Crossings: Poetry, Memory, and the Transcultural South; an anthology of Southern poetry, Hard Lines: Rough South Poetry; and an essay collection on the Southern Gothic, Undead Souths: The Gothic and Beyond in Southern Literature and Culture. 

He earned his doctorate at Vanderbilt, and has published several interviews with contemporary writers, including Rebecca Gayle Howell, Patrick Phillips, Yusef Komunyakaa, Natasha Trethewey, Daniel Wallace, and Charles Wright. He serves as Head of Outreach & Programming for the Georgetown County Library and as Vice-Chair for the South Carolina Academy of Authors.

William R. Hincy: “Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Hincy’s work has won multiple awards, including the American Fiction Award for his personal anthology of short fiction, Without Expiration, and the International Book Award for his satire A Fire for Chirstmas. Without Expiration was also named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now hosts the popular podcast Writers Drinking Whiskey and lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and good whiskey.

Welcome to another episode of Writers Drinking whiskey, the show where authors ponder their metaphysical insignificance while sharing a pint (or four). Think Booktube and Booktok, but with engaging, in-depth, and happily irreverent conversations with some of today's most interesting authors. Add a heavy pour of comradery, a dash of laughter, and a splash of substance, and you'll be tipsy by the time we get to the author reading. 

In this episode, host William R. Hincy shares a drink with award-winning writer and poet Mathieu Cailler, author of the short story collection Loss Angeles, the novel Heaven and Other Zip Codes, and Catacombs of the Heart (among others).

Welcome to  Writers Drinking whiskey, the show where you find more than your next read: you find your next author… along with cocktail recipes, travel advice, life hacks, and a healthy dose of comradery. In this episode our host William R. Hincy shares a drink with author Dan Conover, who writes under the pseudonym D.C. McElroy. We had such a great time chatting we had to break our conversation into two episodes. Hear about the fall of the Newspaper Empire, his beguiling tale of winning Journalist of the Year, and the dream that inspired his slipstream epic-fantasy series, The Darbas Cycle. Neopaganism, reincarnation, the lost city of Atlantis, and the Hollywood business model dooming us all to unending kitsch—oh my!
