Old Spies Don’t Die…Until They Do
Summary
My personal appreciation for John le Carre, who died this past weekend at the age of 89. Also, no podcast for 12/25/2020. Happy holidays–whichever one you celebrate or not. Be safe!
Character Origins
Summary
In this episode, I talk about who inspired the characters Mai Fisher and Alexei Bukharin. You’ll get a little back story and an insight into how much fun writing these characters is for me.
The Trilogy Concludes
Summary
The final few chapters–and some editorializing about Slobodan Milosevic–of the trilogy Self-Inflicted Wounds, after its conclusion with the publication of And Justice for All, book three. Tying up loose ends seldom happens for spies, but Mai Fisher generally gets what she wants. Find the trilogy HERE.
The Last Mission?
Summary
We’re closing in on the conclusion of And Justice for All. Mai and Alexei wrap everything up in Belgrade and prepare to return home–but is the mission really over? And is it, as Mai promised, their last?
Please note: There will be no podcast on Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy your holiday, everyone!
Improvising
Summary
It’s well known that Mai Fisher will risk almost anything to have a successful mission, but let herself get captured? Not the first time. Trigger warning: Mention of rape.
The Beginning of the End…of the Trilogy
Summary
And Justice for All brings Mai and Alexei’s mission in the Balkans to a close, but in the process, they deal with an old enemy, discover a devastating betrayal, and save a marriage–not theirs. And Justice for All is available for preorder HERE.
We Reach the End of Book Two
Summary
The final chapters of Dangerous Truths, book two of Self-Inflicted Wounds, also end on a bit of a cliffhanger. You might say all of book three is the denouement!
Plausible Deniability and Dangerous Truths
Summary
Some more chapters from book two, Dangerous Truths, and my philosophy on sex scenes in thrillers. That got your attention, right?
A Fateful Encounter
Summary
Mai and Alexei get a hint of who might be involved in the murders of the “friends of Milosevic” and someone takes care of a complication for them. More from Self-Inflicted Wounds book two, Dangerous Truths. Preorder book two HERE.
