This week, I got to talk with Jakob Kerr about his new technothriller Dead Money! We dive into hos his experience in Silicon Valley informed the book, why the tech industry is a prime thriller setting, and how he came up with one of the best intro paragraphs.Dead Money SynopsisDon't call me a fixer. This isn't HBO.In her job as unofficial “problem solver” for Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalist, Mackenzie Clyde's gotten used to playing for high stakes. Even if none of those tech-bro millions she's so good at wrangling ever make it into her pockets.But this time, she's in way over her head—or so it seems.The lightning-rod CEO of tech's hottest startup has just been murdered, leaving behind billions in “dead money” frozen in his will. As the company's chief investor, Mackenzie's boss has a fortune on the line—and with the police treading water, it's up to Mackenzie to step up and resolve things, fast.Mackenzie's a lawyer, not a detective. Cracking this fiendishly clever killing, with its list of suspects that reads like a who's-who of Valley power players, should be way out of her league.Except that Mackenzie's used to being underestimated. In fact, she's counting on it.Because the way she sees it, this isn't an investigation. It's an opportunity. And she'll do anything it takes to seize it.Anything at all.Featuring jaw-dropping twists and a wily, outsider heroine you can't help rooting for, Dead Money is a brilliant sleight-of-hand mystery. Written by a longtime insider, it is also a dead-on snapshot of the Valley's rich and famous—and a glimpse at the darkness lurking behind the tech world's cheery facade.

Welcome to Episode 268 of Spun Today, the podcast that dives deep into the world of writing, creativity, and the stories that both inspire and challenge us. I'm your host, Tony, and in this episode, we're exploring a rich tapestry of thought-provoking topics, from the emotional connections we share with loved ones, to the narratives we craft about ourselves. We'll delve into the teachings of renowned authors like Steven Pressfield and Walter Mosley, discussing the dichotomy between self-criticism and the quest for authentic storytelling. I'll share my reflections on two intriguing books—Ma Rothman's "Multiverse," a techno-thriller that piqued my interest despite my usual disinterest in sci-fi reading, and Charlamagne Tha God's "Get Honest or Die Lying," which offers powerful insights on self-evolution and nurturing creativity in children. Additionally, we'll touch on practical writing tips, the impact of cultural icons like Stephen King, and even get into a discussion about the film "Ford vs Ferrari" and its storytelling mechanisms. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just looking for a burst of creative inspiration, this episode is brimming with valuable insights.

Author Thomas R. Weaver discusses his debut novel, Artificial Wisdom. In this techno-thriller murder mystery, it is 25 years in the future. The world is polarized by politics and is gripped by war, climate change and technology that has advanced exponentially. Tom began writing by asking: What if the global community were to put its faith in an AI leader in a Brexit-style referendum? But all of this serves as a backdrop to a very personal and human story that centers around a reporter whose personal tragedy and grief has a direct connection to the crises that plague the global community.

In this techno-medical thriller, a state-of-the-art medical records system gets hijacked, giving the hijackers unfettered access to private information and the ability to change the patient records of some very important people—which means that medicine's greatest breakthrough has become the world's most efficient killing machine.

Hey guys, my book is finally live! You can grab it FREE for two days (3/26-27) at mattwardwrites.com/cynetic After this Friday, it'll be $2.99 and up so I recommend getting it while the getting's good. Here's the blurb. It's 2096, sixty years after ninety percent died from a man-made Bioplague. Humanity has splintered into four unequal subspecies: immortals, cyborgs, enhancers, and subservient half-human, half-animal hybrids.  The world is anything but equal. Hybrids everywhere are suffering, but sixteen-year-old Raek Mekorian, a wolfish with a nose for trouble, doesn't see an alternative. Except the Resistance, who don't stand a chance against the world government. His mom always said, “Keep your head down.” And he does, until his sister is murdered by a pair of cyborgs. Overnight, his simple life is shattered, fracturing the rigid governmental caste as he is thrust into the dangerous world of superhuman hit squads, Resistance uprisings, and secrets better left unsaid. With only built-in blasters and the advice of a mysterious professor, Raek must navigate crushing betrayal, self-doubt, and a limitless enemy whose evil knows no bounds. The fate of mankind may rest in his hands.

Your London Legacy

Daughter of a Ugandan Foreign Service diplomat, Rose Sandy was raised across the world—from Baghdad to India, Germany, and Paris. She met her husband in Berlin and decided London was the place she wanted to raise her family. She’s a talented musician with a deep interest in technology and works at a leading London publishing house. Rose Sandy is the author of the Calla Cress Techno Thriller series which has over 100,000 downloads—and she shares her experiences of traveling the globe, the self-publishing world, and doing research in the halls of London’s museums. [5:12] Rose went to international schools all her life and developed her love for Shakespeare (her favorite spot to see his plays being the Globe). Her love for stories spread to literature at large, but it wasn’t until she had children that she contemplated writing fiction of her own. When her kids were very young, Rose had a conversation with herself—stoking the urge to write a draft of a novel in three months. It was winter, so she thought it would be possible to stay indoors and get enough on paper for a whole draft. She was able to complete that draft, and after feedback from friends, publishers, and agents she decided to take the self-publishing leap and send her work out into the world. “In this day and age readers are very used to the visual. They’re very used to plots that work in Hollywood or TV. So when we’re writing fiction—I think we have to have that reader in mind who has that attention span in mind.”   [7:58] With her Decrypter series, Rose wanted to write a strong female character—something many thrillers tend not to touch. Her books read as a genre mix-up of James Bond and the Matrix, with settings that span the globe. When asked how she finds time to write such complex novels while raising children, and as the head of a division at a major publishing house, she replies “Actually, there’s never enough time in the day.” However, she does write on the tube and dictates using a technology that transcribes her first drafts (but not while on the train). “The main character is a British museum curator who is an orphan, and she’s always just wanted to know about what happened to her parents. And she somehow gets recruited into an undercover organization that has ties with five governments.” She plans for pockets of time to write or do research. She reads up on BBC focus magazines on science and technology, while also spending time at a lot of museums—as her main character is a museum curator. With one of her favorite spots being the Museum of London, you may wonder if she’s happened to pass Jason Sandy (from episode one) in the museum’s hallways after a fruitful season of Mudlarking. You would be right to think this, as the two are married. [19:36] Of course, Rose has some of her own personal experiences tied into her work—specifically London as a setting. Almost all of the locations in the book correspond to real life locales in London, including her favorite, the British Library. Rose has been vetted for a special pass where she has access to the library’s reading rooms which house a copy of the Magna Carta and other historical manuscripts. She has interviewed workers at the British Museum to see exactly how experts handle these precious documents so that her characters can be as realistic as possible.

The Dramatist is the second Special Edition Episode from The Leviathan Chronicles.  Written by Nobi Nakanishi, The Dramatist is a character driven, noir piece set in the 1930s in old Hollywood.  It gives a glimpse into the origins of the immortal rebellion and how the population was forced to pick sides.  The crew at Silver Sound did an amazing job creating an authentic period feel for the episode while still maintaining the kickass technology that makes Leviathan so slick.
