Podcast appearances and mentions of hope rides again

**Carrie and I are taking a much needed holiday break. We will be back in Mid-January with all new episodes.Until then, enjoy some replay episodes. This week we have a replay of our interview with the New York Times best-selling humorist Andrew Shaffer, author of the Obama Biden mystery series. He spoke with us in 2020 about his book Secret Santa, a 80's horror satire about an office holiday party. Shaffer has a new book out called Feel The Bern, the first in his Bernie Sanders mystery series. ** We all probably need a good laugh right about now and our guest this week, humorist Andrew Shaffer, is the one to provide it. Andrew is the New York Times best-selling author of the Obama Biden series, a buddy detective mystery series which includes Hope Never Dies and Hope Rides Again. His new book that comes out in November is called Secret Santa and is a clash of the holidays ; Halloween and Christmas; a comedic book that combines horror and holiday vibes about a holiday office party gone bad. He is the author of 11 books in several genres but says that humor is the theme that ties all his books together. Andrew talks to us about why he goes back to his comfort reads during the pandemic, why he thinks satire makes the medicine of heavy topics go down a little easier, and why he looks to the past for inspiration for book ideas even when there are so many crazy things in 2020 to poke fun at. He also tells us a pretty hysterical story about the worst job he ever had.
