Several months ago, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Caroline Ailanthus, a fellow author who also cherishes science in her writing. She was gracious enough to share the full recordings with me, which I've posted below. Enjoy! Part 2 is in the works.

A postcard from the not-so-great outdoors...

Forget gentle waves and sandy toes! 🏖️ This summer, plunge into the chilling depths of "Aroughcoune!"
A humid Pennsylvania summer weekend quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival against a creature unlike any other.

Wow! As an author, you commonly see reviews from friends and family, and I stress that they leave an *honest* review. But to see one walk in off the street like this one did, well that just makes your weekend! #horrorjunkie #horror #authorlife
