All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. Super Secret Studio. Hello, this is Washington for beautiful people on Deep State Radio.

I'm your host Emily Brandwin at CIA Spy Girl on Twitter.

We're broadcasting from the very, very sunny west left coast and today I am so

excited, so thrilled to be joined by New York Times best-selling author, the Scape

artist, the inner circle you may have heard of them, his new book, The First Conspiracy.

please be me, please be me, please be me, please be me. Oh, what a disappointment if it wasn't.

Because I will tell you, sometimes I sit in my house, I read my books, I watch myself on my

seeing yourself in that way. Oh, 100, I still think it's weird when I see my book in a store.
