Alan Gordon has voices in his head while writing history + mystery in Ep. 23 of My Bookcase Slays

I’ve been a longtime fan of the Sparks and Bainbridge Mysteries by Allison Montclair, and I couldn’t wait to pull the author into the studio and ask questions. Iris Sparks and Gwen Bainbridge are two of my favorite sleuths and their dialogue is the snappiest I’ve encountered in fiction. Alan Gordon shares what prompted him to begin this historical mystery series featuring two women who open a marriage agency in London after WWII. Both Iris and Gwen have suffered trauma, and Alan discusses their character development through the series, how reading The London Times shapes his plots, and how Iris and Gwen’s voices popped into his head after his editor planted the seed. BONUS: a sneak peek at what’s next for the series!
