Have you ever read a suspense novel so good you had to stop and think to yourself, "How did the author come up with this idea? Their characters? Is some of this story real?" For over five years, Mark Rubinstein, physician, psychiatrist, and mystery and thriller writer, had the chance to ask the most well-known authors in the field just these kinds of questions in interviews for the Huffington Post.

Collected here are interviews with forty-seven accomplished authors, including Michael Connelly, Ken Follett, Meg Gardiner, Dennis Lehane, Laura Lippman, and Don Winslow. These are their personal stories in their own words, much of the material never before published. How do these writers' life experiences color their art? Find out their thoughts, their inspirations, their candid opinions. Learn more about your favorite authors, how they work and who they truly are.

Industry Reviews

[A] fresh compendium...Particularly revelatory are the authors' anecdotes about their previous jobs--as reporters, psychiatrists, veterinarians, and lawyers--and the range of perspectives makes for a breezy introduction to the writing game. Thriller writers--and fans curious about the process--are in for a treat.

-- "Publishers Weekly"

A brilliant book...Mark Rubinstein has fashioned a book that offers the final word on all things related to the craft of telling tales that are impossible to put down...Rubinstein has penned one of the best author-centric studies of writers and writing ever created, and one of the few ever attempted for popular fiction. This book is destined to stand the test of time, with great storytelling in its own right that for this thriller writer was impossible to put down.

-- "Jon Land, Providence Journal"

A remarkable collection of interviews with some of the most important writers working in the world today. I loved this book.

-- "Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Force and The Cartel"

Just look at this lineup: Lee Child, Patricia Cornwell, David Mamet, Meg Gardiner, Scott Turow, Kathy Reichs, James Rollins--and that's only a small fraction of them...A nice companion piece to the slew of more traditional how-to-be-a-writer books on the market.
