7th Son: 7 Days coverWelcome to the second episode of 7th Son: 7 Days, a free audio prequel anthology to J.C.’s thriller novel, 7th Son: Descent. Today’s story features John Smith, a carpenter and bartender. Recently inspired by his girlfriend Sarah, John aims to make good on a promise he made to himself long ago.

After the story, J.C. serves up some additional details about what you’ll hear in John’s story. The killer content keeps on comin’. J.C. also flubs by saying he’ll play three Clone Line calls, but only plays two. This is because two calls were from the same person; Hutch axed one of these calls for this reason. :)
