PODCAST - Joseph Heywood Full Interview

Podcast Episode 21 - I sat down with Joseph Heywood, author of the Woods Cop mystery novels to talk about the series and the latest book released last month; "Out of Service". Joe shares how he finds inspiration for his stories and characters from the months he spends riding with Michigan DNR Conservation Officers. One book scene comes from a patrol where Joe busted all his teeth while helping catch illegal pike spearers. Joe also gives me some tips for aspiring writers (like myself). This is the full interview with Joseph Heywood from "Discovering" Episode 105 from October 14th.
