We're joined again by the incredible Jordan Harper to discuss the US release of The Last King of California, writing the stories you want to write, and having an impromptu meeting of the S.A. Cosby fan club. We also get a sneak peek at The Last King of California, discuss publishing across different countries, and whether or not the UK has a valid excuse for not understanding the word "shotgun."

Jordan Harper is the Edgar-Award winning author of She Rides Shotgun, Everybody Knows, the short story collection Love and Other Wounds, and The Last King of California. Born and educated in Missouri, he now lives in Los Angeles, where he works as a writer and producer for television.
