They All Fall the Same: A Conversation with Wes Browne (2026)
Mariam sits down with Wes Browne, author of Hillbilly Hustle and They All Fall the Same, to discuss both of his books, his writing journey and how his work is influenced by Appalachian Kentucky and his background as an attorney. Wes talks about how becoming a part owner in a pizza shop in Richmond influenced the story of his first book, and how a fan-favorite character from Hillbilly Hustle became the focus of They All Fall the Same, with the background of actual Kentucky events in 2020. Hillbilly Hustle and They All Fall the Same are available for checkout and purchase from your favorite local bookstore.
Later, Erin and Mariam talk about highlights of upcoming January releases, and January programming. The Art Beat calendar can be found on our website.
