Ted Bell joined The Protectors Podcast ™ to talk about his new Alex Hawke book SEA HAWKE. Ted has been on the NYT Best-Sellers list so many times I can’t count them on two hands. I was joined by newly published author Eric Bishop. We talk writing, Ted’s background, and the many great movies of Michael Mann.
