What is going on true crime fans? I'm your host, T.

And I'm your host, Daphne.

And you're listening to Going West. Hello everybody.

Today, we have a very special episode for you because today is the day that my debut

thriller novel Nightwatcher releases. You can officially buy it wherever you get your books

here in the U.S. in hardcover or worldwide, you could read it on Kindle and audiobook.

Hopefully we'll have details soon about Night Watcher releasing in hardcover in other countries,

but for now, that is how you can find it. And thank you to everybody who checks it out.

Now, because the book is about a masked serial killer called The Hiding Man, who haunts Portland, Oregon, as well as our protagonist, Nola Strait.

We wanted to dive into serial killers today.

Yeah, I mean, think of this like a serial killers for dummies episode.

It's chock full of fascinating facts and examples of serial killers here in the U.S.

What Makes Them Tick and What Makes Them Act. And then later we'll do a little a Q&A with Daphne

about her book and how Going West helped inspire the idea for the book and the inception of the book

Night Watcher. So it's going to be very fun. We're going to dive into some

statistics, some data regarding serial killers. Yeah. And thank you to Heath for letting me

commandeer this episode. Of course. But I think you guys, even who aren't readers out there,

you're really going to enjoy this episode. It's something that I think we're all interested

in learning more about with our true

crime brains, the psychology kind of behind a serial killer, because we do a lot of talking about

killers, but not really about killers, you know? Yeah, exactly. We talk about killers, but we don't

dive deep into why they do what they do. So, without further ado, let's talk serial killers.
