WRITERS ON THE BEAT: Acclaimed Author & Editor Adam Dunn on Geopolitical Thrillers
from Writers On The Beat: Crime Writers and Crime Fighters · host Gavin Reese
Adam Dunn steps into the Interrogation Room to answer questions about his writing, editing, and process, and how that specifically helped him create his latest release, entitled "Fractus Europa." Adam's an accomplished author and editor who’s written the "More" Series, which includes the novels "Rivers of Gold," "The Big Dogs," and "Saint Underground." "Fractus Europa" is a collection of stories Adam coedited with the late Eric C. Anderson, a former US intelligence officer and author of the "New Caliphate" trilogy and a cyberthriller called "Byte." "Fractus Europa" features stories from a number of accomplished authors, journalists, and professionals, and includes tales of American journalists uncovering Russian secrets in Moscow, healthcare workers struggling to keep the NHS system afloat in post-Brexit England, and a Ukrainian soldier reconciling his pre- and post-war identities. In this episode, Adam and host Gavin Reese discuss the potential near-future of Europe and the EU; helping professionals and specialists write reality-based fiction for the first time; economic turbulence as a driving and inspiring force for fiction writers; the necessity of humor amid dark fiction; how Dick Marchenko retasked the traditional detective story; and how governments may effectively retool their citizen workforce to sustain work in a robotics-based economy. This is an incredibly important episode for thriller authors who want to compose stories that seemingly predict tomorrow's headlines today.
