Jeff Berney's Journey from Ad Agency Pro to Novelist

Alex is joined by novelist Jeff Berney, who released his second novel in October 2022, The Fall of Faith. It’s a gritty domestic thriller about love, faith, and the consequences of doing whatever it takes to survive in the small forgotten town of Eden, Missouri, somewhere between Bentonville and Kansas City. “Faith comes in many forms. It can take years to find and seconds to lose. And nothing, not money nor even morality, can help you hold onto it once it begins to slip away,” Berney says. “That’s the situation a group of characters confronts as a lost trucker seeks redemption after a chance encounter with a stripper whose seductive secret threatens to unravel a town full of sin and deeply buried lies." In this wide-ranging discussion, Jeff and Alex also talk about his chilling first book, A Killer Secret, frustration and fun in writing, his journey from pre-med to advertising, all things self-publishing, and their mutual great taste in bookshelves.
