JD Barker, New York Times and International best selling author, has had one of the most interesting lives and careers I can think of. From the time he was asked to write a Dracula novel by Bram Stoker estate to the time he solved a friend’s murder, and on to a prolific and successful career as a thriller writer, JD’s meandered along a path most of us couldn’t imagine. And then there’s the email… a slip, an accident, someone sent the wrong thing to the wrong list, and controversy ensued.
In this episode of Wordslinger we’re diving deep in the history of JD Barker, celebrating the wins and learning from the mistakes.
