Holy Ghost Power Medley - Grace Thrillers (Christmas in Hollis Remix) Mixed by @jkdthedj by JKD
In this episode, bestselling thriller author Chris Pavone — known for The Expats, The Paris Diversion, and Two Nights in Lisbon — reflects on his transition from a publishing career to becoming a full-time novelist. He shares how his life abroad shaped his early storytelling, why he's drawn to characters navigating uncertainty, and the techniques he uses to build tension, craft twists, and turn cities like Lisbon and Paris into living characters on the page. Pavone explains how he researches international thrillers, how he balances fact and invention, and what makes a twist not just clever but deeply satisfying. He also discusses the challenges of returning to the same characters for a sequel and what he hopes global readers — including those at the Sharjah International Book Fair — take away from his work beyond suspense alone.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with award-winning techno-thriller author Guy Morris about blending rigorous research with fiction to wake readers up to real-world risks. We unpack how 70 years of AI progress, geopolitics, national debt, climate pressure, and election manipulation converge—and why credible facts make stories stick. Guy shares the FBI-knock-on-the-door moment that reshaped his view of technology, a clear warning on facial recognition and biometric logins, and his choice to write high-tension, non-gun-hero protagonists grounded in human ethics. If you care about mental clarity in an anxious news cycle, digital safety, and page-turners that actually teach, this episode is for you. About the guest: Guy Morris spent 38 years leading tech and strategy at firms like IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft before turning to fiction. Since 2020 he's released multiple award-winning thrillers—often compared to Dan Brown and Robert Ludlum—rooted in real technologies, history, and geopolitics. Key takeaways : Research isn't window dressing; verifiable facts make fiction provoke thought and change behavior AI isn't new—it's a 70-year arc now reaching mass application; risks arise when commercial incentives downplay failure modes . Guy writes to show the convergence of pressures: geopolitics, national debt, climate, banking shifts, misinformation, and democratic backsliding Thrillers as a release valve: transforming societal anxiety into narrative helps audiences process fear and consider options. A 1990s incident—an NSA program “escaped”—sparked Guy's security lens and eventually drew a visit from the FBI, proving how plausible his reconstruction was. Core advice: avoid using biometrics (face, iris, thumbprint) as passwords; if compromised, you can't reset your face or print. He favors non-violent protagonists and ethical problem-solving; ingenuity over lethality preserves human dignity and reduces copycat harm. Mental habit: focus on history + humanity—tech amplifies old human tendencies; understand the past to choose wiser futures.
