Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.

In today’s episode, we were originally scheduled to talk with Irish writer Frances Flannery about her debut novel, Writing Man. Unfortunately, the computer goblins have attacked us for a second week in a row and we couldn’t do the interview. But we refused to let that stand!

So, after calling an audible, we got horror author A.D. Jones to join us to discuss his new book, Sacrificial Waters. The conversation dips in and out of various topics such as indie publishing versus traditional, the difficulties of writing horror and adding twists on popular tropes, what really scares a horror author, and what kinds of things horror writers describe that even make them cringe.

If you want to see what A.D. is up to, you can follow him on Instagram @the_evergrowing_library.

You can order a copy of his new book at https://www.amazon.com/Sacrificial-Waters-D-Jones/dp/B0CY962F45

#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job? After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.
