In this episode we hear from authors Patricia Cornwell and David Nicholls, both with new novels available now and both with fascinating insight into character development.
Patricia Cornwell, author of FLESH AND BLOOD, the 22nd book to feature the detective Kay Scarpetta, talks with her editor, David Highfill, about how she used research into new, high tech weapons to try to trick Scarpetta, an attempt that she says always ultimately fails. And David Nicholls tells us about his desire to write a male protagonist for his new book, US, that is in direct contrast to the leading character in his previous, very popular novel, ONE DAY.
