S6E9 – Bar Exams, Baby Bottles & Band Practice: The Making of a Horror-Writing Dad

from A Guide to Poor Parenting · host Jason Minter

What do you get when you mix a law degree, a baby monitor, a well love drum set, and a vivid imagination? You get our guest this week, J.B. Mclaurin, a Southern dad who went from courtroom dreams to creepy fiction, all while juggling diapers and guitar solos. We chat about growing up in Alabama, navigating parenthood, surviving law school, being in a rock band, and somehow finding the time to write a horror novel. Spoiler alert: coffee was involved. Lots of it. Plus a little beer too.   Check out all J.B.
