Brian O'Hare on his debut story collection, "Surrender"

A former U.S. Marine Corps officer and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Brian O'Hare's debut story collection Surrender

brings war to life. These 17 interconnected stories explore manhood

through the lens of fatherhood, football culture, the military, war, and

more.

Brian joins Marrie Stone to talk about the art, craft, and

business of fiction. He shares how training as an actor influenced his

writing, the "architects and gardeners" in fiction, the importance of

writing contests and creating a niche for yourself, how to market your

work and so much more.
