In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s A Toast to The Arts podcast, award-winning author Matt Cost talks about his latest release, Glow Trap, the sixth and final book in his Clay Wolfe / Port Essex Mystery series. 

From the origins of the “glowy” nickname for extremist groups to the fascinating world of art theft, Matt shares the research and creative process behind this twist-filled conclusion to Clay Wolfe’s saga. Along the way, he reflects on writing 18 books in just over five years, the challenges of crafting layered characters, and what’s next for his storytelling journey.
