## Resource

What if Elvis Presley had a secret son? That's the fascinating premise behind The Prince of Memphis, the latest novel from author Joseph Coulson. In this episode, Joseph joins me to discuss the inspiration behind the book, creating the unforgettable characters of Aron Beale and Odelia, the real song "Midnight Candy," Elvis's enduring legacy, and why this story explores far more than rock 'n' roll—touching on identity, race, love, memory, and the myths that shape our lives. The Prince of Memphis will be available for pre-orders starting August 1, 2026 through the publishing date of September 15, 2026. Visit JosephCoulson.com or DreamFieldPress.com for updates and information.
