So pleased to be joined by special guest J D Barker, a multiple New York Times Best seller. On the show we hear his crazy story about how he got to know Stephen King. We talk about the collaborations with James Paterson and the chat with Dacre Stoker (Dacre Stoker is the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, the author of the classic novel Dracula.
