Writers, Witches, Whiskey, and Tomfoolery!

Send us Fan MailHappy Halloween! On this episode, we discuss author Michael A. Kozlowski’s new book, AMERICAN GHOST STORIES, and he reads the "Minnie Quay" story based on his mother’s encounter with the haunt. We also discuss who would win between Freddie and Jason (“hit” movie not withstanding), if WRH’s doll is haunted, and Michael’s horror novels. And the “Magical Mistress of Mixology, the Patron Saint of Shots,” Christen Ballew stops by to share her recipe for the Michigan Manhattan. Our moms agree: “You won’t want to miss this!” For the video version, check-out YouTube: https://youtu.be/C1QrM09AQlsLinks:For an ads-free version and loads of other free content, check out my website at https://williamrhincy.com/ For more about Michael A.

Hosted by award-winning author William R. Hincy, the show takes booktube and booktok to another level with engaging, in-depth, and merrily irreverent conversations with today’s most interesting writers. And for our writers joining us, there's plenty of creative writing tips, fiction writing tricks, and poetry read by the poets. Bios:“Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Between rounds, Hincy has won 3 American Fiction Awards, an International Book Award, and his personal anthology of short fiction WITHOUT EXPIRATION was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now hosts the popular podcast Writers Drinking Whiskey and lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and whiskey-winged interludes.Michael A. Kozlowski has authored a book of "true" Ghost Stories, two books (thus far) in the John Angel, post-zombie apocalypse series, a collection of many of his horror short stories called "Some Days Suck, Some Days Suck Worse" (not many happy endings in this one), and a memoir of his family's experience moving to, and living in, Australia. Mike lives in Detroit, MI, with his girlfriend and a whole mess of critters. Thanks for tuning in!
