## Resource

Join hosts LX and Havok for a wildly entertaining chat with debut novelist (and Page Turner Award winner!) John David! The long-time PR crisis communications pro, nonfiction business author, and corporate ghostwriter spills the beans on ditching the real world to create his own: a gripping mystery series starring TV reporter Pete LeMaster.From a routine tailgate interview that turns into a viral active-shooter nightmare (and a heroic bystander twist), to the wild ride of writing fiction after decades of nonfiction, querying agents, landing a three-book deal with Tule Publishing, and juggling edits, marketing, and Oxford comma debates; John keeps it real, funny, and full of insider wisdom.Perfect for aspiring writers, mystery lovers, or anyone who wonders what happens when a communications expert finally lets loose and invents the facts. Expect laughs, publishing war stories, and a few plot teases from The Lemaster Files Book 1: The Bystander. Don't miss this one!
