WRITERS ON THE BEAT: Renowned International Bestseller Lee Goldberg on Writing, Characters, and Craft

Lee Goldberg steps into the Interrogation Room to try getting his story straight. Lee is an international bestseller who broke into television with a freelance script sale to “Spenser: For Hire.” Since then, his TV writing & producing credits have included sci-fi (“seaQuest”), cop shows (“Hunter,” “The Glades”), martial arts (“Martial Law”), whodunits (“Diagnosis Murder,” “Nero Wolfe”), the occult (“She-Wolf of London”), kid’s shows (“R.L. Stine’s The Nightmare Room”), T&A (“Baywatch,” “She Spies”), and comedy (“Monk”) clip shows (“The Best TV Shows That Never Were”). Lee’s mystery writing for television has earned him two Edgar Award nominations from the Mystery Writers of America. His two careers, novelist and TV writer, merged when he wrote the eight books in the “Diagnosis Murder” series of original novels. He followed that up by writing fifteen bestselling novels based on the television show “Monk” that have been translated and published internationally. Lee lives in Los Angeles and still sleeps in "Man From U.N.C.L.E." pajamas. His latest release is "Bone Canyon” which is his second contribution to his Eve Ronin series. In this episode, Lee and host Gavin Reese discuss police procedurals, crafting three-dimensional characters, and composing genre-breaking fiction.
