James P. Sumner began writing in the summer of 2013, finally feeling ready to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. He worked tirelessly to learn the business as well as the craft, and eventually self-published his debut novel, True Conviction, in February 2014. It was very well received, which spurred him on to continue his Adrian Hell series, which has now been downloaded over half a million times, with each entry topping the Amazon charts. His Adrian Hell character has become a popular figure in the thriller genre, mainly due to Sumner's style of writing, which puts the reader inside the head of the charismatic assassin, so they experience his thoughts and see what he sees in real time — something you rarely see in mainstream thriller fiction. In 2015, his fifth novel, A Necessary Kill, was selected as the winner of Amazon's Kindle Scout program, and was subsequently published by Kindle Press. It quickly became his most successful novel, and was briefly the most downloaded e-book in the world. This changed his life and his career as an author, allowing him to make the switch from part-time to full-time. Then, in 2017, Sumner was the recipient of two ATAI awards for his seventh Adrian Hell novel, Thicker Than Blood, which picked up the Best Thriller and Best General Fiction accolades.

Author of 2 thriller series, 21 books to date, came to tell me about them.

Hey everyone, and welcome back to an all new episode! Today we have best selling thriller author James P. Sumner. I loved chatting and getting to know more about James! I was surprised to find out we have somewhat similar backgrounds as authors. We're both self-published (and prefer to be called indie authors!) and we both got into writing in the mid-2010s after years of dreaming of being published. James has experienced a lot of success as a self-published author, and we talk all about how he got started, why he chose to write in the thriller genre, and how publishing his fifth novel A NECESSARY KILL completely changed the course of his career. Being that we're both work-from-home authors, we touch base on tending to your mental health and how we make it a priority in our lives.  James just released the eighth novel in his ADRIAN HELL series, called BLOWBACK.
