The Thriller Zone

Former CIA Covert Action Officer Turned Thriller Writer, Joe Goldberg


Listen Later

Joe Goldberg always wanted to write. Even when he was working for the CIA as a Covert Action Officer. But he pressed on, working to bring down the bad guys as they tried to foil justice.

Then, working as a Corporate Intelligence Director for Motorola, he received the Meritorious Award, recognized for significant contributions to the intelligence profession. And yet, his yearning to craft a thriller remained a dream.

Finally, after many agent passes, he decided to carve his own path, and in 2014, did so, crafting his first self-published novel Secret Wars: An Espionage Story.

It wasn't until this year (2021), and with the growing popularity of self-publishing, he took another leap of faith and published The Spy Devils.

Joe feels he's in the groove with a popular protagonist, a band of crafty characters, and a genuinely thrilling theme.

Please join host, David Temple, as he sits down with Joe in this latest episode of The Thriller Zone.
