Today, in my ongoing series of conversations with a wide variety of authors - largely people whose books I like, and just want to have the chance to meet - I talk with M.P. Woodward, author of a new intelligence thriller called "The Handler." This is a book I would assign to the can't-put-down category, a smart and intelligent novel that also happens to be his first. Woodward has a background in intelligence, and also spent seven years as an executive at Amazon - which is something we also talked about.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with author M.P. Woodward:

M.P. Woodward's "The Handler" is available on Amazon, the iconic Portland independent bookstore Powell's, on Bookshop.org, and wherever books are sold.

My wine of the week is a delicious California red - the 2020 Presqu'ile Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara, which was wonderful with an asparagus pizza that had garlic cream, parmesan and bacon.

That's it for this week … hope you have a great weekend, and I'll see you Monday.
Sláinte!!
