"It was always the story behind the headlines I found more
intriguing," says Jonathan Green (@jonathanjagreen on Twitter).
This is the Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I speak to
the best artists about telling true stories where we dig into
origins, work habits and process so you can be a better a better
storyteller. For Episode 105 I welcome Jonathan Green, author of
“Sex Money Murder: A Story of Crack, Blood, and Betrayal” to the

in that he didn’t have the traditional route. We talk about his
