This week's story is Robert Ward's "Out on Joppa." Click here to listen or download. Enjoy!

Robert Ward is the LA-based author of 8 novels, including Four Kinds of Rain, Red Baker and Shedding Skin. He has written on the staff of Hill Street Blues and co-executive produced Miami Vice. Word to that!

Can you get cooler than working with Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas? No. I didn't think so.

"Out on Joppa" originally appeared in text form over at our pal-site, Darkest Before the Dawn, here.

On our end, the big news is that my novel, YOUNG JUNIUS, now available as a free podcast here, will be released this coming fall by Tyrus Books! Yeah, how cool is that?
