I promised some bonus episodes, and I'm bringing them to you.
WELM, how do I begin to tell you about Daniel Wescott? I met Dan the way I have met many writers recently; he hired me to produce (and perform) an audiobook: The Alien, the first novel in a sci-fi trilogy that is at once a satire, an espionage thriller, and a bildungsroman for a man-child astronaut aptly named Michael.
Dan himself is an adventurer and world traveler who makes his home in Maine, where all of his novels also make their homes (or on an alien planet; or a pub in Ireland).
You can get any of Dan's novels at DanielWescott.com--paperback, Kindle, or audiobook, and there are plenty to choose from.
I released a chapter from The Alien during Season Two, so for a treat between seasons, I will bring you a couple of chapters from each of Dan's other books. For example, you will also hear chapters from two novels in his Love and Torment series, Inhabited and Captive with performances by Jennifer Keane @citizenkeane and Anastasia Wilson @anastasia.wil
For now though, Chapter One of Inhabited: Love and Torment Book One. Yeah, I'm doing it out of order because the first book in the series is on a hard drive that I left at my mom's house. And I'll get it later. It's a topsy turvy world, so deal with it.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
