Wild Isle Podcast 46, Writing Cast 29 Immortal Warfare With Nathan Cumberledge

You know you’ve found a series character when months after reading it—that character sticks in your mind. Reed Farrel Coleman’s Nick Ryan is that character for me. In this second book of the series, Blind to Midnight, Nick Ryan follows the trail of professional killers who assassinated his “Uncle Tony” and his wife. Another crime might be connected, one which took place in the shadows of 9-11 in the heart of New York. A fantastic series and highly recommended. Sleepless City (the first in the series) was the Authors on the Air Book of the Year.

In an interview that should be required listening for aspiring and new fiction writers, Reed talks about the importance of character, why they must have a life off the page, and how supporting—not secondary—characters are a reflection of the protagonist. In conversation with James L’Etoile for Authors on the Air.

FTC Rules Authors MUST Know: Keep Your Reviews Safe!

Lisa A. Moore spins contemporary fantasy and psychological thrillers that’ll leave you questioning reality—and maybe your own sanity. With a sassy Druid in training who’s mastered sarcasm, a graffiti artist whose imagination runs as wild as the streets, a no-nonsense ghost hunter who’s fed up with haunted nonsense, and a guy stranded on a remote island with no memory (awkward), her characters are as unforgettable as her plot twists. 
When she’s not busy messing with your head, Lisa can be found hanging with her high-energy, super-sweet dog, Violette, swooning over her funny and very romantic pilot husband, John, or getting lost in her watercolor creations. Occasionally, she blogs about leveling up your mindset, but mostly, she’s crafting stories where nothing is ever as it seems. Dive in—but don’t say I didn’t warn you!
