Outliers Get to Know host Tracey Devlyn sits down with debut author Travis Kennedy to talk about his outrageously fun, heart-thumping, satirical thriller—THE WHYTE PYTHON WORLD TOUR.
A dream gig. A secret mission. A Cold War about to blow its amp.
It’s 1986 and L.A. drummer Rikki Thunder is on the brink of stardom with Whyte Python—until the band’s rise hits a global nerve. What starts as a world tour becomes a mission of epic proportions… with killer riffs, backstage secrets, and an accidental spy caught in the middle.
Travis Kennedy lives in Scarborough, Maine with his wife, Liv, and their two children, Ella and Cole. He has a long career in public service and policymaking, having worked for the Maine State Legislature for more than nine years and the United States Senate for five years. Since 2017, his day job is Director of Public Affairs for Cumberland County Government in Southern Maine.
His work has been featured in the Best New England Crime Stories and Best American Mystery Stories anthologies, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. He is the grand prize winner of Screencraft’s 2021 Cinematic Book Contest for “Sharks in the Valley,” to be published as Welcome to Redemption. https://TravisKennedy.com
