Description

On this episode of the Get Deep Podcast, we sit down with Allen Eskens, Mankato’s own best-selling author and former criminal defense lawyer. Allen shares how his years in the courtroom shaped his storytelling, the discipline it takes to master the craft of writing, and the real-life experiences—and daydreams—that fuel his imagination. We also talk about his breakout first novel, The Life We Bury, which became a best seller and set the stage for his writing career, as well as his newest release, The Quiet Librarian.
