Andrew Mayne Andrew Mayne has starred in his own television show on A&E, Don’t Trust Andrew Mayne, and on Shark Week. He’s a bestselling novelist and magician. He started his first world tour as an illusionist when he was a teenager and went on to work behind the scenes for Penn & Teller, David Blaine and David Copperfield. He’s also the host of the Weird Things podcast.

His latest book, The Girl Beneath the Sea is a number one bestseller on Amazon. It’s the first book in his new Underwater Investigation Unit series. It’s a great thriller that I highly recommend. The opening scene will blow you out of the water (pun intended).

During the podcast, we chat about his writing process, the tools he uses to write his thrillers, magic, swimming with sharks, self-publishing, and a lot more.
