BookTrib.com recently added Writer’s Bone to our weekly features. Daniel Ford and Sean Tuohy have been bringing us weekly podcasts of discussions they have with writers about the craft of writing and what motivates them to tell a good story. We hope you enjoy this series as much as we do.
Today on Writer’s Bone, we join Daniel Ford as he speaks to the beloved Wiley Cash, author of the new novel, The Last Ballad (which is set for release today!) Wiley Cash is also the author of other well-loved novels like A Land More Kind Than Home and This Dark Road of Mercy. They discuss some very informative subjects including how he established his storytelling work ethic, chasing Ella May’s ghost while writing The Last Ballad, what his writing students have taught him, and why writers need to be honest with themselves about why they want to write. As you can see, this is one you do not want to miss!
Wiley Cash currently serves as the writer-in-residence at the University of North Carolina-Asheville and teaches in the Mountainview Low-Residence MFA. If you want to learn more about Cash, you can visit his website, like his Facebook page, or follow him on Twitter and Instagram. Here you can read an excerpt from The Last Ballad.
