Dean Koontz has written more than a hundred novels and sold over 500 million copies of his books. This is my second time having him on the show. The first time, we discussed writing practices, routines, and rituals: the standard topics we cover on How I Write.

This time was different. We explored the supernatural, mysticism, and how to cultivate a sense of wonder both in life and on the page.

The vibe of this conversation felt like two old friends sitting in a cabin, discussing life, the world, and the craft of writing.
