David Headley sits down with multi-award-winning crime author David Goodman to talk about A Reluctant Spy, the breakout thriller that launched the Goldsboro Crime Collective, and the years of writing that came before it.
From Edinburgh to espionage, David shares how a lifelong love of sci-fi and spy fiction collided to create Jamie Tulloch and the brilliantly inventive “Legends Program.” They dive into writing under pressure (or avoiding it entirely), the reality of sudden success, and what happens when book two (and three!) are already in motion.
Plus: the realities of publishing, blurbs, and why great stories aren’t bound by genre.
