NIGHT MOVES

Author and investment expert, JARED DILLIAN, joins the podcast for the second time to discuss his new collection of short stories, NIGHT MOVES. We talk about his talent for moving across formats and between fiction and non fiction. We go into the need for story-telling and the importance of holding an audience. Finally, we look for crossovers in his writing from his personal history, his move to South Carolina and his experiences in the Coast Guard and Lehman Brothers. https://www.amazon.com/Night-Moves-stories-Jared-Dillian-ebook/dp/B0DDLB49X1/ "Night Moves" by Jared Dillian From his military experience and investment experience to his DJ'ing prowess and obvious for multi-faceted talent for writing, Jared is a creator and a Renaissance Man- and a terrific, no nonsense person to speak with about the ins and outs of publishing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7pratxa3EY Writing across formats and how that led to NIGHT MOVES?  Non fiction  Novel  Short story - is the format a challenge or an opportunity?
