The Phone Call That Turned Into an Archaeological Thriller | Luke Richardson

A phone call dropped Luke Richardson into a story he couldn’t ignore. An ancient manuscript lost for thousands of years. A British Museum dig in Lebanon. An archaeologist who faked his own death to smuggle out clay tablets. That call became The Ark Files, the first book in his eight-book Eden Black archaeological thriller series. We get into how that real story shaped the novel, how he turns setting into part of the action instead of slowing it down, and what it actually took to walk away from teaching and write thrillers full time.
