Author Dale Bridges joins us to discuss his first novel, The Mean Reds, a fun mystery novel featuring Sam, the self-deluded, weed-addled, but utterly relatable film buff protagonist, who encounters a hilarious cast of characters as he attempts to investigate the death of a stripper. Dale talks about the setting of the novel in Mountainview, a liberal college town, how he developed his characters, and how the novel was ultimately published by a university press. Dale also discusses his own development as a writer and offers advice for how others can persist and improve. The Mean Reds is a fun read and would make a great holiday gift, especially for movie buffs.
