Check out JW's story "The Pigeon Lied" on the Bedtime Stories with Ranger J.W. #podcast.
Every week there is a brand new episode where JW reads either some spooky tale from the public domain, something of his own. There may even be guest authors in the future.

I will be joined by Stephanie Rose from Death by TBR Books, & Griffith Williams from East Point West Press all moderated by Erik Keevan from Gamut Poetry.
This is a free event, so tell everyone! Advanced sign up is required just to make sure that we can get you the zoom link. (cont.)
Have you ever thought about starting your own indie press? Confused on where to start? Well, good news! We have just the thing.
Join us December 3rd for a virtual panel on Indie presses where we will discuss the pitfalls, triumphs, and wish-I'd-knowns of starting your own press. (cont.)
"If you won $100 million, would you still work?"
Absolutely. I would work every day, as I do now, only I would get to exclusively work on my things. I would set up a publishing company and sign all the writer friends I have who are struggling to do the same thing.
I can make your book stand out in the crowd!
