A quick & dirty Friday Reads full of surprises and guests


I’m now going to put mystery guest webpages and books they’ve written near the bottom of my show notes, so you might better resist the temptation to peek. 😜 (This also means that books authored by mystery guests will not be in the regular book list or time stamps but in a separate section farther down.)


Should you wish, *support me on Patreon*: patreon.com/user?u=75826765
