CRITIC'S COLLAB: NIGHT OF THE MAYFLY – An In-Depth Discussion of my novel Night of the Mayfly with writer, director, producer, cousin, etc. Austin Yoder

I wrote a novel called Night of the Mayfly! It's a noir tale of a P.I. who can turn into a cat, as they tend to do. 

 

Screenwriter, media mogul, and cousin Austin Yoder reads and critiques this novel's take on societal guilt, police brutality, and cat puns. We might even paws fur a clever joke meow and then. Just kitten; it's all cat puns.

We talk about our bygone days of youth in Bluffton Ohio where Dylan and Paul spent any time not spent hitting one another with sticks and various less-than-lethal projectiles inaugurating their writing careers, which, you can tell by this very paragraph, ended up being the very foundation to our monumental literary talent.
