Alex and Craig Podcast summaryHow two crime writers co-wrote a novel and stayed happily married.In this podcast I spoke with Alexandra Sokoloff and Craig Robertson about their recent book, THE GRAPEVINE, a thriller about a mother in search of her missing daughter along the California highway coastline. It’s part of a series called The Lost Highway.Alex and Craig are both accomplished authors with strong opinions as well as coming from very different cultural backgrounds. Yet, they manage to navigate the complexities of working together to ultimately create something unique and still stay happily married. We joked about this during the interview. They shared how they worked together along with all the differences that ultimately add dimension to their creative process.We also talked about their many travels, conventions, as well as, a residency they went on in New Zealand, which was the place where they brainstormed their current co-written novel, THE GRAPEVINE. Writer BiosALEXANDRA SOKOLOFF is a native Californian who sold original scripts and wrote novel adaptations for major Hollywood studios before becoming the award-winning author of fourteen thrillers.
