I'm Jason Shannon, author of the books The Zimmer Insurgency, The Hounds of Horigen, and Tiger Blues.

This is a podcast about indie writing, featuring excerpts, sample chapters, short stories, upcoming news, and interviews with a variety of other indie authors.

His second book, Who Killed Arnold Muller? goes in a completely different direction.

It's a murder mystery set in small-town Ontario in modern day, and he keeps you guessing right up until the end.

This was a riveting read, and it's freshly out on the shelves, having just come out in July.

Christian and I do a reading from Who Killed Arnold Muller? at timestamp 50 minutes 45 seconds.
