Episode 17: T.W. Piperbrook - on Zombies and Werewolves and plagues. Oh My!

In this episode, I chat with former punk musician and post-apocalyptic science fiction author T.W. Piperbrook. He shares his early writing experiences submitting stories to publishers as a kid, the use of real experiences in his post-apocalyptic scenarios, the wonders of Kindle Vella, and his feelings when a real *near* apocalypse arrived.
