A little while ago it was my honor to be a guest on Sara DiVello’s Mystery and Thriller Mavens show. Today’s podcast is a special rebroadcast of the interview. Please enjoy me being on the other side of the mic with Sara DiVello interviewing me.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· The fourth book in my Brew City Blues series, Honor and Valor.
· My most memorable experience writing Honor and Valor.
· We discuss the importance and how to use cliffhangers in a thriller.
· How writing these stories brought back my PTSD.
· Adrenaline rushes on the job.
· Where I got my inspiration to become a police officer.
· Since I retired, the items I have found that have brought back memories.
· How real-life police work compares to how it is portrayed on TV or in movies.
