In his latest thriller LABYRINTH, author A.G. Riddle explores the impact of AI-generated virtual reality on future generations. Listeners will also find out why The Quill & The Quantum’s new tagline brought tears to Gerry’s eyes!  Author info available at www.agriddle.com.

A.G. Riddle spent ten years starting internet companies before retiring to pursue his true passion: writing fiction.

His debut novel, The Atlantis Gene, is the first book in a trilogy (The Origin Mystery) that has sold over three million copies worldwide, has been translated into twenty-four languages, and is in development to be a major motion picture.

His fourth novel, Departure, follows the survivors of a flight that takes off in 2015 and crash-lands in a changed world. HarperCollins published the novel in hardcover in the fall of 2015, and 20th Century Fox is developing it for a feature film.

Released in 2017, his fifth novel, Pandemic, focuses on a team of researchers investigating an outbreak that could alter the human race. The sequel, Genome, concludes the two-book series.

Released in 2019, his seventh novel, Winter World, depicts a group of scientists racing to stop a global ice age. It is the first book in The Long Winter Trilogy, which is now complete.

Riddle grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. During his sophomore year in college, he started his first company with a childhood friend. He currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, daughter, and an eccentric dog.

No matter where he is, or what's going on, he tries his best to set aside time every day to answer emails and messages from readers. You can reach him at: ag@agriddle.com

Murder at the Scottish Games, Traci Hall, Ep. 19

Sally Smith’s newest title, A Case of Life and Limb, ticks all my boxes: a secret corner of London (that really exists!), a twisty mystery set in a real place in history, backstage theater drama, lawyers wrestling with ethical questions, complex characters, and a sassy cat. She describes her background as a barrister living in The Temple, the secluded grounds dating back to the Knights Templar and today a main legal district in London. We also talk about Gabriel’s origin story and how he relies on his inner strength, especially important as he’s torn from his quiet, private life by two forces: a series of dismembered limbs appearing on his colleagues’ doorsteps and a famous actress demanding his legal services. BONUS: she suggests two drinks to enjoy while reading a book that’s perfect for blustery winter weather.

Danger, Dogs & Desert Secrets: Inside Bone Hash with Skye Griffith

What happens when an archaeological dig uncovers something far darker than artifacts? This week, Skye Griffith takes us inside her suspenseful debut Bone Hash, where a “bone hash” suggesting prehistoric cannibalism leads archaeologist Aideen Connor into a maze of threats, violence, and long-hidden secrets. We explore the book’s haunting discoveries, vivid setting, and the real-life inspiration behind its buried secrets—and of course the wonderful four-legged character, Dakota.
