Hey, wonderfuls. Welcome to episode 440 of the JV club with my guest, Laura Bricker.

Laura is another one of the Fantastic Crime Writers on co-hosts.

She also just recently released a book that I have in my bookshelf at my very own home,

dead on deadline.

And if you've heard me talk about the show on the podcast before which I

bet you have you know it's just one of my faves so was so excited to have Laura on and

excited to make it part of the Max Fun Block Party.

Now, wonderful's, I would be remiss if I didn't point out something very special that's happening

at Maximum Fun right now.

Listen, this is a network, you know something fun is always going on because it's in the name.

But I'm really excited about this new thing that the fine fine folks a maximum fun have put together for us this week.

It's our virtual block party. It's going on from now until October 22nd

and guess what? You're invited. Now during block party here's what happens.

Maximum Fun shows are releasing episodes that are especially welcoming to new audiences.

Like this one that you're listening to right now.

So, I don't know if you've been encouraging, maybe a friend, maybe an enemy to try out our show. This is the perfect episode to share with them.

It's also a great time to check out shows you've been curious about since they're

releasing episodes geared towards new audience members too. Block Party also has games.

Yeah, games. Recommendations, very cool, a volunteer event.

I'm always a big thumbs up for a good volunteer event and a limited edition poster and

then there's of course more that I'm not even talking about

so find out about all that fun stuff at maximum fun dot org slash block party and tell your friends
