INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Today I have another mystery writer on the podcast. Her name is Melanie Anagnos, and she is the author of Nightswimming, the first book in the Jamie Palmieri mystery series. Set in the late 1970's in Paterson, New Jersey, it is a "classic police procedural charged with the social turbulence of the 1970s."
In our conversation we talk about her writing journey, and dig into what makes a compelling character, how a writer can create convincing female characters that avoid all the tropes, and why she chose the 70's as her setting. Of course you know we will also share some of what we're reading, our favorite books, and we even find time to bring up classics like Jane Eyre!
