Matty Dalrymple talks with LynDee Walker and Bruce Coffin about CO-AUTHORING FICTION, including how the co-authoring opportunity came about; the vital importance of trust and setting clear expectations; testing the partnership with a sample chapter; the power of an in-person interaction to check for rapport; the importance of not ignoring your gut; navigating the creative process; the challenge—and the fun—of shifting between genres and passing the “straight face” test; the advantage of not reading ahead (this insight from Bruce was the biggest surprise for me); and what parts of the process were easier or harder than expected.   Interview video at https://youtu.be/fkAu1wscKH0   Show notes at https://www.theindyauthor.com/245---co-authoring-fiction.html   If you find the information in this video useful, please consider supporting The Indy Author! https://www.patreon.com/theindyauthor https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattydalrymple   LYNDEE WALKER writes about strong women who can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Amid the dog days of summer, Detective Sergeant John Byron is called to the scene of a horrific crime: a young woman's body, dismembered and left in an abandoned Portland lumber yard. The killing shares striking similarities with a spate of murders committed in Boston by a serial killer known only as the Horseman.As Byron's team investigates the case, they quickly push up against powerful forces in town. But Byron will stop at nothing to find the truth, not when there is a killer on the loose and everyone is a suspect. Has the Horseman expanded his killing field? Is this the work of an ingenious copycat—or is nothing what it seems? One thing is certain: Byron must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

When Moira asks him to monitor her son, Luke—who's broken a restraining order to stay away from his girl-friend—a simple surveillance explodes into greed, deceit, and murder. Luke goes missing, and Rick's dogged determination compels him to follow clues that lead to the exploration of high finance and DNA cancer research. Ultimately, Rick is forced to battle sadistic killers as he tries to find Luke and stay alive long enough to see the birth of his child.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes best-selling writer Bruce Robert Coffin to the studio. ABOUT BRUCE: Bruce Robert Coffin is the bestselling author of the Detective Byron mystery series and former detective sergeant with more than twenty-seven years in law enforcement. At the time of his retirement, from the Portland, Maine police department, he supervised all homicide and violent crime investigations for Maine's largest city. Following the terror attacks of September 11th, Bruce spent four years working counter-terrorism with the FBI, earning the Director's Award, the highest honor a non-agent can receive. Winner of Killer Nashville's Silver Falchion Award for Best Procedural, Bruce's most recent novel, Beyond the Truth, was also a finalist for the Agatha Award for Best Contemporary Novel, and a finalist for the Maine Literary Award for Best Crime Fiction Novel. ABOUT WITHIN IN SIGHT:   Amid the dog days of summer, Detective Sergeant John Byron is called to the scene of a horrific crime: a young woman’s body, dismembered and left in an abandoned Portland lumber yard. The killing shares striking similarities with a spate of murders committed in Boston by a serial killer known only as the Horseman. As Byron’s team investigates the case, they quickly push up against powerful forces in town. But Byron will stop at nothing to find the truth, not when there is a killer on the loose and everyone is a suspect. Has the Horseman expanded his killing field? Is this the work of an ingenious copycat—or is nothing what it seems? One thing is certain: Byron must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. @copyrighted.  Listen on www.soundcloud.com/authorsontheair or your favorite podcast app.

Retired Detective Sergeant and bestselling author Bruce Coffin stepped into the Interrogation Room to clear up a few things about his latest release, BEYOND THE TRUTH. Bruce spent 27 years in law enforcement and retired from the Portland (Maine) PD, where he last supervised all homicide and violent crime investigations. For the four years following 9/11, Bruce served in a counter-terrorism role with the FBI, and his efforts there earned him that agency’s Director’s Award, the highest possible commendation for a non-agent. Bruce is the author of three published novels in his Detective Sergeant John Byron series. In this episode, Bruce and host Gavin Reese discussed "the first Portland," the weight and personal responsibility of homicide investigations, balancing reality with reader expectations, and how authentic writers bare their hearts and souls to the world. "As a street cop [and detective] on the way to something that you know may be life altering...you don't feel the weight of it until later." -- Bruce Coffin Bruce's works: www.amazon.com/Bruce-Robert-Coffin/e/B01IVS5EHQ Bruce's website: www.brucerobertcoffin.com/ Gavin's works: www.amazon.com/Gavin-Reese/e/B072W5PPGS/ Gavin's site: gavinreese.com #writersbeat #amwriting #amreading #amwritingfiction #thriller #espionage #writerslife #gavinthecop #gavinreese #police #policeprocedural #detective #conspiracy #conspiracyseries #writingcraft #nanowrimo #writingcoach #weightofthebadge #authenticity #homicide #murder #investigation #firstportland #portlandmaine #brucecoffin #beyondthetruth --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writersbeatpodcast/support
