A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Daniel Hurst, an Amazon #1 bestselling author known for his gripping psychological thrillers. Now, we're excited to make the full interview available to everyone! If you haven't already, you can watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen to it on our podcast.Daniel's journey from a passionate storyteller to a full-time bestselling author is nothing short of inspiring. In our interview, he shared insights into his writing process, the challenges he faced breaking into the industry, and his thoughts on the evolving landscape of publishing.From Early Struggles to Full-Time WritingHurst's love for storytelling began in childhood. Growing up in the northwest of England, he enjoyed creating stories and always had a vivid imagination. However, like many aspiring writers, he struggled to see a viable career path in writing and spent years working a ‘sensible' job while writing in his spare time.Eventually, his persistence paid off. By 2021, he transitioned into full-time writing—a decision that led to a string of bestsellers, including The Doctor's Wife, The Passenger, and The Couple's Revenge. His ability to craft fast-paced, unputdownable thrillers has earned him a loyal readership and significant success in the publishing world.The Writing Process and Keeping the MomentumOne of the most fascinating parts of our discussion was Daniel's approach to writing. Unlike many writers who spend years perfecting a single manuscript, Hurst thrives on momentum. He emphasized the importance of consistency, treating writing like a full-time job, and producing stories efficiently without overcomplicating the process.His advice to aspiring authors? Don't wait for the perfect moment—just start writing. Discipline and routine play a crucial role in staying productive, and he believes that overthinking often kills creativity.The Publishing Journey: Self-Publishing vs. Independent PublishingInitially, Daniel took the self-publishing route, a decision driven by impatience with traditional publishing's lengthy timelines. By doing so, he gained valuable experience in marketing, reader engagement, and rapid storytelling. His self-published success eventually led to partnerships with independent publishers, allowing him to reach an even wider audience.Hurst believes that while traditional publishing still holds prestige, the accessibility of self-publishing has made it an excellent path for writers willing to learn the business side of the industry.Engaging with Readers and What's NextOne of Daniel's biggest strengths is his ability to connect with readers. He frequently interacts with fans on social media and values their feedback. This direct engagement, he says, has shaped his storytelling and made him a better writer.As for what's next, Daniel has multiple books in the pipeline with Bookouture, with more thrilling stories set to hit the shelves in the coming months. His ability to consistently deliver compelling narratives ensures that his readers always have something to look forward to.Watch or Listen to the Full InterviewThis conversation was filled with inspiration, advice, and behind-the-scenes insights into the life of a bestselling thriller author.

Episode Notes We review The Doctor's Wife by Daniel Hurst, the first in a trilogy of thrillers about a village doctor and his wife. Thanks to Jess from Bookouture for the ARC. About the book: He thinks his secret is safe. But she knows the truth.... My husband is a doctor. He's smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it's far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should've been a fresh start for us both. Except I've discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He's using the power he has in his job to mess with people's lives and to get exactly what he wants–no matter who it hurts. But he's underestimated me. I've had plenty of time, in this big, isolated house, to think about all of his mistakes. And my husband has no idea what's about to happen next....

This week, Kristin starts us off with an old, yet very timely story. In 1992, Yoshihiro Hattori and his friend Webb Haymaker arrived at what they thought was the location of a halloween party. In reality, the two teenage boys were at the wrong house. When they went up to the house and knocked on the door, a woman opened a side door, spotted the two boys, then quickly slammed it shut. Yoshi and Webb were confused, but they figured they'd arrived at the wrong home. As they were walking away, the door opened again. This time, a 30 year old man stood in the doorway with a gun. When Yoshi approached him, saying that they were there for the party, the man shot Yoshi in the chest. Then Brandi tells us about Maribel Ramos, who thought she'd found the perfect roommate when Kwang Choi “KC” Joy responded to her ad on Craigslist. KC described himself as an easygoing professional. He soon moved into Maribel's home in Orange County, California. Initially, Maribel and KC got along great. They even went on vacation together. But when KC couldn't pay rent, their relationship went downhill. Maribel feared that things might get violent between them. Then she disappeared. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
