The one where M.P. Woodward reveals how his tech work with Amazon Prime Video inspired him to write again.

Join hosts Christine Daigle, JP Rindfleisch IX, and Patrick O'Donnell as they discuss the week's publishing topics, including a rash of "culture war" blowbacks on American libraries. Then, stick around as Patrick chats with naval intelligence officer turned thriller writer M.P. Woodward!

M.P. Woodward is a veteran of both US intelligence ops and the entertainment industry. In multiple deployments to the Persian Gulf and the Far East, he worked alongside US Special Forces, CIA, and NSA. Most recently, Woodward ran international partner distribution for Amazon Prime and Prime Video. His latest novel, Dead Drop, was released back in May and is available wherever books are sold.
