This conversation with my old friend Shawn Smucker is one of the best I've had in awhile. We talk about reading and ghost writing and self-publishing and (not) censoring what our kids read.  And we also talk about the books we wish we'd written. Somehow I shock Shawn with one of my answers! Shawn Smucker is the author of six novels, including his latest The Weight of Memory (which I devoured in a day). Shawn calls The Weight of Memory "a modern day fairy tale."  FULL SHOW NOTES HERE You can hear more about the trip to Sri Lanka where Shawn and I met in my Secret Tapes interviews (part of my Secret Stuff private podcast).  Sponsors: Prose haircare.
