The Danny and Park Novels Good News Podcast

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. As I may have mentioned before, I’m a member of NetGalley, which is a website where members can read books before they’re released. So I’m browsing around and see this amazing cover of a book entitled Dark Country by Adam Plantinga. I got it, read two chapters, stopped reading, and immediately checked Amazon and bought the other two books in the series. Yes, it was and is that good. I reached out to him to see if he’d come on the show, and here he i

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. About a month ago, David Deane Haskell reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in having him on as a guest. He’d written a nonfiction book called ‘Wounded Angels’ and wanted to talk about it. Well, of course I wanted to have him on an episode, but since he’s currently living in Tokyo, scheduling was interesting, to say the least. But here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. And after you listen, let me know what you think of David. I ab

Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. A few months ago, I got an email from a publicist asking if I’d like to interview New York Times bestselling author Kieran Scott on the podcast. Well, we all know how much I enjoyed talking to authors, so I readily agreed, then read her bio and was stunned. She’s written 50 novels. 5-0. Incredible. And I’m lucky enough to have her as a guest, and now you’re lucky enough to hear her. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, let me know w

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. For this episode, I’m delighted to have on George P. Pelacanos, the author of over twenty novels and the writer and producer of several shows, including The Wire, Treme, The Deuce, Bosch, and many more. I began reading Mr. Pelecanos Derek Strange series when it first came out in 2001 and have been a fan ever since. So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy the episode. After you've listened, please let me know what you think. There’s an old saying t

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. After a brief sabbatical, I’m back and thrilled to welcome back bestselling author George Prior. I reached out to George when his first Casey Stafford novel was released, and he was kind enough to do an interview with me. Well, now he’s on Casey Stafford novel number three, and he’s still making time for me. So, I’ll just end this intro right here and dive into it. I hope you enjoy the episode. And after you listen, let me know what you think of Ge

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. I feel as if I start every intro with, “A few weeks ago, a publicist emailed me about….” But it’s true, and I love it. So, I get this email about a retired cop who’s a podcast host (these retired cops, is that all they do?) who was with LAPD Internal Affairs. Would I like to interview him? Well, what cop could refuse an offer to flip the script and put IA in the hot seat? Little did I know he’d flip the script back with the oldest trick in the book:
