Jennifer Steil

You know you're in for a wild interview when the part about the author getting kidnapped barely makes it into the program. That's what happened when Jennifer Steil stopped by the Jam Bunker to talk with Brad about her latest novel, Exile Music. Although Jennifer wanted to be a professional dancer and actress, her life steered her towards writing.

She's continued writing books while living abroad with her husband UK Ambassador Tim Torlot and their daughter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
