Welcome back to another episode of The Co-Authored Life with author J.E. Sutton Jr. and his partner-in-creative-crime, Jeannie! This week, the duo dives into major writing milestones, including the completion of the first draft for the third book in the series, The Eclosion Point, and a production update on The Failsafe Program audiobook. In the Analog Book Club, they critique the balance of plot and "spice" in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Crown of the Gilded Bones, share a deep-dive review of Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See (and why the book trumps the Netflix adaptation), and preview their current mystery reads. Next, they head over to Plot and Popcorn to break down character growth in the series finale of Ted Lasso and unpack the dark, terrifying secrets of Apple TV's Widows Bay. Finally, grab a snack for What's for Dinner? as they share their go-to sheet pan meals, Ninja Foodi pressure-cooked spaghetti, and a special Japanese curry chicken recipe straight out of Jerry's debut novel. Plus, get all the details on their upcoming appearance at the Literary Indulgence Book Festival in Jacksonville and a limited-time BOGO book sale you don’t want to miss!Links in this Episode:
