Episode 72: Rio Youers Returns to talk No Second Chances and Sleeping Beauties

Rio Youers is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, and a writer I  love to chat with about craft. His newest novel is No Second Chances,  an action in a novel form much like his last novel Lola on Fire which we  talked about in episode of 40 of this podcast. If you want Rio’s origin  story that is in that episode. No Second Chances and the last one Lola  on Fire straight action and crime stories built entirely on the power  and strength of the Rio Youers secret ingredient. Characters. This  freaking Youers guy knows how to write characters with complications  that we can still root for. In this episode we talk about Rio’s  gig adapting Owen and Stephen King’s Sleeping Beauties, working with Joe  Hill on a comic book project, developing this novel out of a failed  Lola novel, writing action, researching California, and the importance  of characters in this novel. Spoilers start at the 42-minute  mark. At that point, we lift up the hood on No Second Chances for Rio’s  first spoiler-heavy conversation on No Second Chances. So make sure you  read it first but there is plenty tips for writers!   •You can find my books here:  Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW     •And me here:  Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff   Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor   Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/
