Aric Davis and Justin Soileau on Primetime

On Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 12pm/PST, we are happy to have two guest on Swoop’s World Primetime. First, author Aric Davis will join us. We’ll have a wonderful opportunity to get to know him and discuss his recently released novel “A Good And Useful Hurt.” Following Aric, singer-songwriter Justin Soileau drops by the studio to share his music and give us a look into the life of a young talented musician. Tune in at Swoopsworld.com.

Aric Davis

Aric Davis has worked as a body piercer for the past fifteen years and used his extensive knowledge of the industry to create the world in A Good And Useful Hurt. When he’s not writing, he’s helping spread the word about local bands, cheering for his favorite hockey team or scouring amusement parks for new thrill-ride roller coasters. He likes weather cold enough to need a sweatshirt but not a coat, and friends who wear their hearts on their sleeves. His first novel, Nickel Plated, was published in March 2010 and received rave reviews from critics. A Good And Useful Hurt is his second novel. Aric Davis lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his wife and daughter.

Listen to the show.
