George PelecanosTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know George Pelecanos. George is a New York Times bestseller and the author of 25 books, most of which are in the crime fiction genre, and based in and around the Washington, D.C. area. In this episode, we chat about Some of his early experiences growing up in the U.S. capital, a very meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. event that he stumbled upon, and the 'Salad Days' of the D.C. Punk Rock scene. Of course, I dive into what lead him to become a writer in the first place. George didn't write his first novel until he was in his 30s, so I ask him why it took so long and what he was doing to further that goal in the meantime. Then we get into some of George's first books and what those early paydays looked like for him. I would like to thank George for his candidness as far as those early numbers & and those first few steps on his path to the undeniable success that he enjoys now. (Thanks George!). Next, we get into His work as a script doctor and how he came to be one of the writers & producers of 'The Wire'. Not only was George a writer, producer of that show, but he also worked on 'The Deuce', 'We Own the City', 'Treme', 'The Pacific', and so many more. We talk about his screenwriting, his experiences working on some of those shows and why David Simon chose to hire him in the first place; as well as his experiences living in some of those filming locations. Finally, we discuss George's newest novel which is titled "THE BLUE FLAME". This marks the 6th novel featuring his most popular character Derek Strange. George has written Derek Strange stories from when Derek was 12, all through the years to this current story where Derek is in his 70s. We also do a little bit of a deep dive on why some of the details in his books are so important, and why he thinks it matters to get those details correct, even when writing fiction. George also has his next novel already written! "Tell Chuck Berry the News" is a standalone work of fiction that is slated to be released next year. Make sure you check out A-L-L of George's novels and story collections, follow him on social media, and tell him you heard him on Fascination Street Podcast!

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! The House That Jack Built is — by a country mile — the most messed up movie we've ever seen. Oddly, it might also be the funniest. In this long-gestating episode, we're finally doing a deep dive investigation into one of the trickiest, densest, and most provocative movies ever made. It's a crime thriller. It's a black comedy. It's an unbearably grisly horror movie. But then again, you could also argue that it's the foremost (albeit nontraditional) adaptation of Dante's Divine Comedy. Topics include: the rudest needle drop of all time, an uncomfortably apt comparison to It's A Wonderful Life, the terror of temporary found footage, the potency of simplistic creature design in depicting pure evil, Lars Von Trier's use of the color red, and the boundless talent of Matt Dillon.

Send us Fan Mail What happens when the life you built with years of discipline, sacrifice, and dedication starts to feel like it belongs to someone else? This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their own achievements and quietly wondered, is this still me? Dr. Cristina LePort, a cardiologist who practiced medicine for over thirty years, joins host Sana for a candid conversation about reinvention, the courage it takes to begin again, and what it really means to evolve. Through her story, from growing up in Italy hating to write, to emigrating to America, to spending years collecting rejection letters before becoming a traditionally published medical thriller author, Cristina offers something rare: an honest, unhurried account of what following your curiosity actually costs, and why it is almost always worth it. About the Guest: Dr. Cristina LePort was born in Bologna, Italy, attended medical school at the University of Bologna, and completed her Internal Medicine residency and Cardiology fellowship in the United States. She practiced medicine for over thirty years before retiring in 2023 to become a full-time author. She is the Amazon bestselling author of the medical thrillers Dissection and Change of Heart, and her upcoming novel Defrosted has earned a rare Kirkus Review star. Key Takeaways: The things you hate at one point in your life can become the very things that set you free. Cristina hated writing as a child because she had to write what others told her to. As an author, she writes whatever she imagines. That shift from assignment to autonomy changed everything. Reinvention doesn't have to mean abandoning who you are. Cristina didn't leave medicine behind. She brought it with her into her fiction. Her medical knowledge is the foundation of every thriller she writes, including the high-stakes pacing, the diagnostic thinking, and the weight of life-and-death decisions. Rejection at scale is part of the creative path. Getting published traditionally means entering a world where only about 2% of manuscripts find a home. Cristina received hundreds of rejections. Her response each time was to go home and write something new. The waiting period produced three to four novels. You cannot survive the creative journey on talent alone. You need resilience. Writing coaches, editors, publicists, literary agents: Cristina invested in every layer of support available to her. Asking for help is not weakness in the creative world. It is strategy. Evolution is not optional. It is survival. Staying in a version of your life that has exhausted its purpose is its own kind of stagnation. Cristina left a career she loved because she could feel it had given her what it had to give. Knowing when to move is as important as knowing how. The purpose of a book is to complete a circle between the author and the reader. You begin with an idea, you build the world, and the reader arrives at your original meaning on their own terms. That connection, stranger to stranger through story, is what makes all the difficulty worthwhile.

We're joined by Hallie Rubenhold, bestselling author behind The Five and Story of a Murder, and a writer who has reshaped how we think about some of history's most infamous crimes. Known for shifting the focus away from sensationalised killers and back onto the lives of overlooked victims, Hallie explores what happens when we start questioning the stories we've always accepted as truth.We talk about the danger of “campfire retellings” in true crime, why history is often built on incomplete or biased perspectives, and how context can completely transform a narrative. Hallie shares what drove her to reclaim the stories of the women linked to Jack the Ripper, why she avoids focusing on the killer entirely, and how her latest work continues to challenge the way crime — and truth — are constructed.

Get ready to dive back into the neon-soaked streets of L.A. and beyond! In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton takes on the ambitious crime epic Heat 2—the novel that somehow manages to be both a prequel and a sequel to Michael Mann's legendary 1995 film.Ever wondered what made Neil McCauley so cold or how Vincent Hanna became a "hyper-caffeinated" detective with a failing personal life? This episode breaks down the twelve-year arc that takes these iconic characters from the shadows of Chicago to the heat of Paraguay and Mexico. Elton also digs into the fascinating true story that inspired the original film, involving a real-life high-stakes meeting in a Chicago deli between a meticulous detective and a professional thief who lived by a 30-second rule.Expect plenty of Elton's signature "cinephile" rants, some very questionable theories about whether Chicago actually exists, and a recurring battle with his producer, [BLEEP], over whether the show needs more machine-gun sound effects. It's a deep dive into world-traveling heists, burning wreckage, and the "urban opera" of Michael Mann's universe.Listen in for:The Real Heat: The gritty 1960s true crime origins of the McCauley/Hanna rivalry.A Master at Work: A look at director Michael Mann's journey from driving cabs to "engineering" cinematic masterpieces.Behind the Pages: How a film director and a thriller novelist teamed up to expand a world millions already loved.Just... maybe don't take any actual life advice from the heist parts.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Clowns...again, flatulence, New York...again, those that get easily tricked, Penthouse Forum, and much, much more.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration."Expanding on the lives of characters like Vincent Hanna, Neil McCauley, and Chris Shiherlis before and after the movie's events. The book follows the formative years of the main characters and continues the story with new heists and characters, exploring their lives in the years leading up to and following the film's iconic bank robbery. It's known for its cinematic action, rich characterization, and fast-paced, hard-boiled style, becoming a #1 New York Times bestseller. "Heat 2, Michael Mann, Meg Gardiner, Heat Movie Sequel, Vincent Hanna, Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Crime Fiction, Heist Novel, North Hollywood Shootout, Chuck Adamson, Chicago Crime History, Belden's Deli, Urban Opera, Heat 1995, Movie Trivia, Literary Analysis, Book Review, Comedy Podcast, Elton Reads A Book A Week, Pop Culture Commentary, GTA V Inspiration, The Dark Knight Influence, Miami Vice, Crime Thriller Books, Cinema History, Hard-Boiled Fiction.#Heat2 #MichaelMann #Heist #BookReview #ComedyPodcast #Podcast #Cinema #TrueCrime #NeilMcCauley #VincentHanna #Literature #CrimeFiction #ActionMovies #EltonReadsABookAWeek #MovieHistory #Sequel Review #books #reading #booktok #comedy #Heat #movie

David sits down with bestselling author Lottie Moggach to discuss her fourth novel, Mrs Pearcey, a story rooted in a real Victorian murder that took place in her own grandmother's kitchen in Camden.Lottie shares how the case captured her imagination for years, from the shocking details of the crime to the way it was reported in the press at the time. Rather than stepping inside the mind of the killer, she chose to explore the world around her, shining a light on the birth of sensationalist journalism and the public's growing appetite for true crime.Lottie talks about the blurred lines between fact and fiction, the challenges of writing historical crime,  growing up in a family of writers, and how living with a story for years can shape the final novel.
