Robin Patchen on Interviewing Her Characters (Episode 22)

On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I’m chatting with Robin Patchen. Aside from her family and her Savior, Robin has two loves—writing and traveling. If she could combine them, she’d spend a lot of time sitting in front of her laptop at sidewalk cafes and ski lodges and beachside burger joints. She’d visit every place in the entire world—twice, if possible—and craft stories and tell people about her Savior. Alas, time is too short and money is too scarce for Robin to traipse all over the globe, even if her husband and kids wanted to go with her. So she stays in Texas, shares the Good News when she can, and writes to illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story. “The hardest part for me in writing romantic suspense is coming up with good plots,” Robin said. “I really write small town romantic suspense, and I like my characters to all stay in the same town and know each other. But how many different ways can you put danger in a small town?” Listen to the podcast for more from our interview, plus an excerpt from “A Glimmer in the Darkness” from Dangerous Deceptions.
