Consumerism, writing collaborations, and reading Kafka in 2nd Grade | Linda Joffe Hull on WDW

What does reading Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” at 8 years old do to a person? Well, it may just lead to becoming a writer, or getting an economy degree, or becoming a lifelong book thief... Join us for a lively chat about childhood, economics, and growing into the writer you’ve always aspired to me.

Today’s drinking game: drink whenever we do!

Bios:
William R. Hincy: “Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Between rounds, Hincy has won 3 American Fiction Awards, an International Book Award, and his personal anthology of short fiction WITHOUT EXPIRATION was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and whiskey-winged interludes.

Linda Joffe Hull: Linda writes contemporary and crime fiction under her own name, and since 2016 with author Keir Graff as part of the writing team known as Linda Keir. She also ghostwrites nonfiction and has penned over a dozen memoirs, self-help, and business books. She is a former president, conference chair, and treasurer of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and a national board member of Mystery Writers of America. She is honored to have been named the 2013 Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ Writer of the Year.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Linda lived in Los Angeles for twelve years, but is a longtime resident of Denver.
