On Episode 186 of Ready 2 Retro, friend of the show, Andy Foreman returns to talk about his first ever published novel, "What We Find Back Home"! This is Andy's first interview discussing the book in detail and R2R is honored to be the inaugural site for the conversation to take place!
Description of "What We Find Back Home":
When Arthur Belding was a child he could swear that he heard an unexplainable voice talking to him from the shadows of his Aunt Helen’s basement. When he returns to visit her many years later as an adult he is convinced that the voice was merely the overactive imagination of a little boy. But as night falls and the house grows quiet, Arthur can still hear that voice drifting up the stairs from out of the basement’s impenetrable darkness.
