Ep. 56: Patrick Crerand & Heather Momyer

Patrick Crerand started off trying to write blue-collar factory stories, but he eventually discovered his voice writing the more surreal and magical stories contained in his new collection, THE PAPER LIFE THEY LEAD. He tells James about how a story about kidnapping Amish people led him to success, learning to write what he loves, and The Boss's "Glory Days" but with a car. Plus, Arc Pair Press founder Heather Momyer.
