Below are four
YouTube videos with some of the best thriller, mystery, legal, detective
writers of our day. Between them they have sold almost three quarters of a
billion books – yes, a billion (though Stephan King probably has more than half
of them). Can you learn anything from these people? Absolutely, they have
changed the thriller landscape as much as Agatha Christie (est. 4 billion
sales) did with her still viable series’ of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.
Stephen King’s is
long, but worth it – it’s last of the four. Karen Slaughter talks about how she writes (and where – a magical cabin in the woods?). Michael Connelly talks about Harry
Bosch and making the Amazon series with Titus Welliver. And John Grisham
shills (and discusses) his latest book, “Rouge Lawyer.”
Every mystery
writer would kill for these opportunities, but to extrapolate and imagine what
these great writers go through to deal with this “fame” is daunting. You have
to love what you do to put up with all this fame and fortune.
