Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes the newest member of the Polis / Agora house, TORI ELDRIDGE.

After a wildly success debut at Bouchercon 2019, Tori takes a deep breath to stop by and discuss her highly acclaimed and starred new thriller THE NINJA DAUGHTER.

Tori Eldridge is a Honolulu-born writer who challenges perspective and empowers the spirit. Her debut novel, THE NINJA DAUGHTER, is the first book in the Lily Wong series and was inspired by her debut short story featured in Suspense Magazine’s Best of 2014. Other short stories have been published in several anthologies, and her screenplay The Gift earned a semi-finalist place for the prestigious Academy Nicholl Fellowship.

Tori is of Hawaiian, Chinese, Norwegian descent . She holds a fifth-degree black belt in To-Shin Do Ninjutsu and has traveled the USA teaching seminars on the ninja arts, weapons, and women’s self-protection. Tori has performed as an actress, singer, dancer on Broadway, television, and film.

ABOUT THE NINJA DAUGHTER: After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninja skills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom who is already disappointed in her daughter's less than feminine ways, and who would be horrified to know what she had become. But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious—and very lethal—stranger to rescue them.

Acclaimed novelist Kate Kessler steps into the Interrogation Room to clear up a few things about her writing and craft. A self-confessed former juvenile delinquent, Kate grew up in a north-east rural town reading Nancy Drew and Sidney Sheldon thrillers, and she began writing her own books the following year. Kate blames a young addiction to soap operas and an overblown sense of curiosity for often landing her in trouble in her teens. She now prefers to only write about trouble and claims to spend much of her time trying to figure out why people do the things they do. Her first series about a woman named Audrey Hart explored some of the darker sides of humanity, and her latest release in a new series, entitled SEVEN CROWS, features recently released convict and parolee Killian Delaney. Having just released last month, this novel forces its protagonist into a morally impossible choice and compels her to risk everything precious in her life.

For this episode, Kate and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discuss SEVEN CROWS; developing authentic, dark anti-heroes; female characters and fight scenes; John Wick; and why Sherlock Holmes won't be called to investigate Kate's murder.
