🎧 Were You Still Talking? – Episode 95: Brad Elder – Thrillers, Texas & Starting Over
In this episode, we cover everything from his law firm to writing his first novel to quitting smoking—and yes, even the passing of Ozzie Osbourne.
Author Brad Elder joins me to talk about his debut legal thriller Recoil of Justice, and how he went from Texas businessman (who never rode a horse) to published novelist. We get into the realities of self-publishing, the surprising highs of giving up nicotine, and what it's like to start a whole new creative chapter later in life.
This one's funny, thoughtful, and full of great insights - especially if you've ever thought about writing a book yourself.
🎙 Topics include:
· Why Brad started writing in the first place
· The process (and pitfalls) of self-publishing
· Growing up Texan (minus the cowboy boots)
· Kicking smoking to the curb
· Remembering Ozzie

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
