This week we talk to the co-author duo - JT Blakely - author of NRDS (National Recently Deceased Services) about writing a Kindle Vella Serial, the future of writing stories, and how to effectively write comedy! When JT takes off his long trench coat and sunglasses (revealing that he is in fact two grown men with one on the other's shoulders), I have a great conversation with the men behind the man - Jeff Elkins & JP Rindfleisch! These two are truly hilarious, beside the invaluable views they have on proper writing techniques, this conversation was genuinely a blast to record. Witty, silly, everything you could want in a writer pair if you ask me. As a co-author unit they fill in the gaps the other lacks like a perfect ying and yang, but don't be fooled, indivudally these two are powerhouses in their own right. For more of these two, visit their Amazon Kindle Vella author page and/or visit their social media feed for the latest to come from this dynamic duo.
