Best-selling author Tess Gerritson's 32 books have sold 40 million copies in 40 countries. Dr. Gerritson has made use of her medical knowledge in her thrillers, but probably is best known for creating the homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles characters for a series of novels that led to the TV series Rizzoli and Isles. Gerritson's latest book -- The Spy Coast – is the start of a new series. On The Spark Tuesday, she described the story,"It is about retired spies who are called back to duty when a dead body shows up on one of their driveways. And it takes place in a little town in Maine, very much like the town I live in. And I also happen to live in a town that seems to have a lot of retired spies as well. So I feel like I'm writing about where I live and about people I know. I found out about this about 30 years ago when I first moved here. It's a little town. It's quiet. It's mostly tourists come in in the summertime. And my husband, who is a doctor, opened up a practice. He would always ask his patients for an occupational history. And this is the answer he got sometimes. I used to work for the government and he'd say, What did you do for the government? And they would say, I can't talk about it. Well, after a couple of times he thought, "What is going on around us? Who are these people?" And it was a local real estate agent who told us they were all retired CIA. And I found out later that I had two two retired spies on my little street where I lived. I found out that my son's best friend, their parents were married spies. And it was a new way of looking at my neighbors. Suddenly I saw these retired people in the post office and in the grocery store. And I thought, you must have had an interesting life, but you can't talk about it. And that's why I wrote this book."   Tess Gerritson will talk about The Spy Coast and her career at The Friends of Public Libraries of Lancaster County a week from Thursday, November 9th at Calvary Church in Lancaster.  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bestselling Crime novelist Tess Gerritsen has sold millions of books around the world. Her popular duo of homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles are back after a five-year hiatus in her latest book Listen to Me. It's the 13th installment in the popular series, which was also made into the TV series "Rizzoli & Isles", which ran for seven seasons. Tess Gerritsen started out as a doctor before becoming a crime writer and her knowledge of the scientific world is drawn on heavily in her writing. But her interests stray further into music, anthropology, ancient worlds and natural phenomena.

September 1st is the publish date of "The Surgeon" in 2001. It's perhaps better known as the very first novel featuring detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, who are now famously the lead characters in the long-running show "Rizzoli & Isles" on TNT. Since it's the 20th anniversary of that book's release, we thought we'd revisit our chat with the author: Tess Gerritsen. Gerritsen joined the NWS for a conversation in January 2015 that ranged from her mother's love of horror movies to her career in medicine to the first novels she wrote in the romance genre before turning to thrillers. Our guest host for this episode of the NWS podcast is Kerrey Woughter. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nationalwritersseries/message
