Hello there Jeff and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. It's great to have you with us. Jeff Carson: Nice to be here. Thanks for having me. Jenny Wheeler: You are somewhere in Colorado and I'm in Auckland, so that's a good long reach between us. You've got this Amazon hit on your hands. It's obviously not a surprise because you've written 17 in the series now. David Wolfe, a small-town, Colorado mountain sheriff. Tell us about David. How did he come to life for you? Jeff Carson: Yes, you've got that right. He is a small-town Colorado Sheriff. My wife is from Italy. I guess it was like 2012, 2011? We were visiting Italy for a year because we had a son, and my wife wanted to go to Italy and be with our young son there and to be with her mom and dad and get some support with the young son and stuff. And I was at a crossroads in my professional life. I did not like what I was doing and I got this idea that I was going to start writing fiction. Long story short, I got looking into these self-published authors and all, I was just like, I didn't even understand that existed until when we got to Italy. And then I realized in the drop of a hat. I'm going to be a fiction writer. My wife was nice enough to not disown me or leave me after that. But I decided to start writing books. I'm in Italy, in this country where I don't know, in the area, nobody speaks English whatsoever,

“What really amazed me here was that so many of the authors who submitted stories wrote something completely outside their genre,” reflects best-selling author Douglas Preston, one of the project editors behind the dynamic new collaborative novel Fourteen Days. “This book is full of all kinds of weird stories.”  Yes, it is. And so is podcast guest Douglas Preston, co-author of dozens of New York Times best-selling thrillers written with his longtime writing partner Lincoln Child—a shining example of what it means to write in collaboration. In all, Preston has published 39 books of fiction and non-fiction. In addition to books, Preston writes about archaeology and paleontology for the New Yorker. He has worked as an editor for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and taught nonfiction writing at Princeton University and is the recipient of numerous writing awards in the U.S. and Europe. He served as president of the Authors Guild from 2019 to 2023. Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days turns on a narrative frame written by Preston, with contributions from a disparate collection of contemporary writers, headed by fellow project editor Margaret Atwood. In addition to Atwood and Preston, the novel features the “voices” of Charlie Jane Anders, Joseph Cassara, Jennine Capó Crucet, Angie Cruz, Pat Cummings, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Alice Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L. Stine, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, Monique Truong, Scott Turow, Luis Alberto Urrea, Rachel Vail, Weike Wang, Caroline Randall Williams, De'Shawn Charles Winslow, and Meg Wolitzer. All proceeds from the book will be directed to the Authors Guild Foundation, the charitable and educational arm of the Authors Guild, dedicated to empowering all writers, from all backgrounds, at all stages of their careers.  Learn more about Douglas Preston: Author's Guild Author's Guild Foundation Instagram Facebook Preston & Child website The Lost Time: And Other Real-Life Stories of Bones, Burials, and Murder Please support the sponsors who support our show: Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

“One of the greatest fictional detectives of all time” (Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child) is in the sights of the Dead Hours Killer, a serial murderer on a ruthless mission.An airport killer targeting pilots expands his scope. Alex Cross Must Die.“Drop whatever you're doing, Detective Cross, and head to Reagan Airport,” DC Metro Police dispatch says. “A jet just crashed and exploded on the runway. The chief and the FBI want you and John Sampson there pronto.”Cross and Sampson race to the crash site. The plane didn't fail—it was shot down by a stolen Vietnam War–era machine gun. The list of experts who can operate the weapon is short.

On this special episode of the Video Junkyard Podcast, we invite our special guest - Dr. Joe Frederickson of the Weis Earth Science Museum - to discuss the 1997 horror thriller "The Relic"! Based on the popular book by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, "The Relic" involves a series of brutal slayings in a natural history museum with evidence that the killer may not be human! The Relic stars Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller, and Linda Hunt, and is directed by Peter Hyams. Does this museum monster movie make the cut, or is this relic just junk? Check out the latest episode to find out!

Lincoln Child was born in Westport, Connecticut, which he still calls his hometown (despite the fact that he left the place before he reached his first birthday and now only goes back for weekends). Lincoln seemed to have acquired an interest in writing as early as second grade, when he wrote a short story entitled Bumble the Elephant (now believed by scholars to be lost). Along with two dozen short stories composed during his youth, he wrote a science-fiction novel in tenth grade called Second Son of Daedalus and a shamelessly Tolkienesque fantasy in twelfth grade titled The Darkness to the North (left unfinished at 400 manuscript pages). Both are exquisitely embarrassing to read today and are kept under lock and key by the author.

Lincoln Child is the co-author, with Douglas Preston, of RELIC, which was chosen by an NPR poll as among the 100 greatest thrillers ever written. He has also published seven thrillers of his own, most recently the Jeremy Logan books FULL WOLF MOON and THE FORGOTTEN ROOM. https://www.prestonchild.com/ About the book: AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY: Astoundingly, Constance has found a way back to the place of her origins, New York City in the late 1800s, leaping at the chance, although it means leaving the present forever.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Encore podcast first posted March 12, 2017. Douglas Preston, author of “The Lost City of the Monkey God” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studios, January 13, 2017. Douglas Preston has written several works of fiction and non-fiction, including a best-selling series of thrillers co-written with Lincoln Child (the Agent Pendergast series). In his latest work of non-fiction, Preston delves into the story of a lost city in Honduras, in Mosquitia, and a civilization that vanished after the Spanish came to the Americas. His story involves con men and crooks who spent decades looking for the city, then turns to a documentarian who became obsessed and eventually took state of the art equipment to discover whether such a city exists. In fact, he found two, and Douglas Preston was there. Still later, in 2015, Preston went on an expedition into the jungle to see what remains of the ruins, and while there contracted a rare and often fatal tropical disease which is currently in remission. This interview also contains an overview of Preston's writing career, including a look at the process in which he and Lincoln Child create the Pendergast books. Since this interview, four Pendergast novels have been published with a fifth scheduled for 2023, one book in the Gideon Crew series, and three in a new series featuring Nora Kelly. “The Lost City of the Monkey God” remains his most recent non-fiction work.

Ein geheimnisvoller Multimilliardär engagiert die Archäologin Nora, eine Ausgrabung in Roswell zu leiten – genau dort, wo angeblich in den 40ern ein UFO abgestürzt sein soll. Schon bald tauchen geheimnisvolle Knochen auf, ein Wissenschaftler verschwindet und eine Spezialeinheit des FBI ermittelt. Mit dem Autorenduo Preston und Child treffen Peter, Doreen und Patrick auf alte literarische Bekannte aus Peters Jugend. Deswegen sprechen sie in dieser Folge nicht nur über den Thriller, sondern vor allem auch darüber, was sie als Jugendliche gelesen haben und warum sich das so von ihrem heutigen Geschmack unterscheidet. Wenn ihr wissen wollt, wer von den dreien Animorphs-Fan war und wie “Old Bones – Die Toten von Roswell„ auf der Oktopodenskala abschneidet, lasst euch diese Folge nicht entgehen! In der nächsten Episode sprechen wir über „The Bullet That Missed“ von Richard Osman. Erwähnte Bücher und Autor:innen: „Der Dunkle Wald“ von Liu Cixin „Der Zorn des Oktopus“ von Dirk Rossmann „Die Nebel von Avalon“ von Marion Zimmer Bradley „Erdsee“-Reihe von Ursula K. Le Guin „Gänsehaut“-Reihe von R.L. Stine „Eragon“ von Christopher Paolini „Dune“ von Frank Herbert "TKKG"-Bücher von Stefan Wolf „Animorphs“-Reihe von Katherine Applegate „The Broken Earth“-Trilogie von N.K.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Weltrepublik: Normalerweise der Stoff für eine Dystopie. Nicht so in Theresa Hannigs neuem Roman „Pantopia“. Die künstliche Intelligenz namens „Einbug“ entscheidet sich stattdessen mit ihren menschlichen Freunden Patricia und Henry die Menschheit auf den Weg in eine faire und ökologische Weltrepublik zu bringen. Peter und Patrick versuchen den Durchblick bei der Fülle an Ideen des Romans nicht zu verlieren, diskutieren ob der Roman möglicherweise schon wieder veraltet ist und inwiefern ein Roman über eine Utopie die neue Gesellschaft politisch analysieren sollte. Hört unbedingt rein, um zu erfahren, was Peter unter einer „logistischen Handlung“ versteht und warum Patrick ein wenig enttäuscht ist, dass er nach dem Lesen des Buches nicht traurig war. In der nächsten Episode sprechen wir über „Old Bones - Die Tote von Roswell“ von Douglas Preston und Lincoln Child. Erwähnte Bücher: „Utopien für Realisten“ von Rutger Bregman „Utopia“ von Thomas Morus „Childhood's End“ von Arthur C. Clarke „Ecotopia“ von Ernest Callenbach „Walkaway“ von Cory Doctorow Musik: „Little Lily Swing“ von Tri-Tachyon (CC BY 4.0)

Lincoln Child is one of today's best selling authors.  His set of novels based off the special ops private eye Jack Reacher have been some of the favorite books by thriller and mystery fans.   In 2012, Tom Cruise was able to star and produce the feature motion picture, JACK REACHER, based off the first book in the series, ONE SHOT (2005).  The film was directed and written by long time Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie. When a serial killer shots five people dead in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a mysterious former Army military police officer shows up named Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise).  When the district attorney, Alex Rodin (Richard Jenkins), seeks the death penalty, his daughter Helen (Rosamund Pike) feels something is suspicious.  Soon Jack Reacher joins up with Helen and the two begin to unravel a much larger conspiracy. Jack Reacher is another in a long line of films that were pushed back due to real life crimes that seemed to mirror the plot of the movie.  When the film finally was released, it made less than expected but received legs and made a boat load of money world wide.  The film stars Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Robert Duval, Werner Herzog, and David Oyelowo in a strong ensemble cast.  Your co-hosts take a look at this well received film and give their thoughts.

Jubilee Rathman is a straight-A student and star soccer goalie destined for Princeton—until her family is brutally murdered. Twelve years later, she lives in a virtual fortress on Purgatory Bay near Bleak Harbor, plotting revenge on the people she considers responsible. In her crosshairs is former reporter Michaela “Mikey” Deming, who Jubilee believes got her family in trouble with the Detroit mob. As retribution, Jubilee kidnaps Mikey's sister and daughter, and that's just the start in her ruthless quest for justice. Bleak Harbor police chief Katya Malone, still reeling from her failure to find a kidnapped boy, leads the investigation. She's determined to keep history from repeating, but Jubilee is more cunning than Malone can imagine. All Mikey and Katya can do is follow Jubilee's dangerous trail of clues. But in Bleak Harbor, nothing is what it seems, and no one can be trusted. As an ominous end draws ever nearer, the women must face the misdeeds of the past to find the kidnapping victims before it's too late.

You want bestsellers, you got it. How about the bestselling combo of Preston and Child? They are talking their latest release "Old Bones". "Old Bones": #1 bestselling authors Preston & Child bring the true story of the ill-fated Donner Party to new life in a thrilling blend of archaeology, history, murder, and suspense. Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal: to lead a team in search of the so-called "Lost Camp" of the tragic Donner Party. This was a group of pioneers who earned a terrible place in American history when they became snow-bound in the California mountains in 1847, their fate unknown until the first skeletonized survivors stumbled out of the wilderness, raving about starvation, murder-and cannibalism. Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find: the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it-to reveal its long-buried secrets. Once in the mountains, however, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear. For as they uncover old bones, they expose the real truth of what happened, one that is far more shocking and bizarre than mere cannibalism. And when those ancient horrors lead to present-day violence on a grand scale, rookie FBI agent Corrie Swanson is assigned the case...only to find that her first investigation might very well be her last.
