Last month, my story “Green Storm Rising” appeared in the new release Breakneck: Nine Gripping High-Speed Thrillers.
I can’t tell you how delighted I am to have my story rubbing shoulders with some fantastic thriller writers. Like James Dain, for one.
I recently had the opportunity to interview James and today I’m sharing that experience with you. So stick around and enjoy my interview with the author of “The Body in the Alley.”
Who knows, he may be your next favorite!
Welcoming James Dain
Hello James, and welcome! I’m delighted to be doing this interview with you and I just want to let my readers know right off that you write gritty, fast-paced thrillers and I’ve enjoyed reading your work.
Joslyn: How can interested readers find you and get started reading your stories?
James: Just check out my website at www.jamesdain.com, where you can see everything that’s in my pipeline and join my newsletter. Of course, all of my books are on Amazon as well.
Joslyn: How did you get started writing thrillers?
James: Funny you should ask. I was obsessed with James Bond stories as a kid, and at age 15 wrote an knock-off thriller about a Yugoslav spy stealing banking secrets from the Mellons in my home town of Pittsburgh. Flash forward several dozen decades. I ran out of the noir and hard-boiled detective stories I love reading and decided it was time to pick up the pen again on my thriller writing career.
More about James Dain and his work
Joslyn: What was your inspiration for “The Body in The Alley”?
James: Google. I came across a stark photo of a brutal murder scene in an alley and started wondering about how the victim got there.
I wanted to write something contemporary with a hard-boiled flair and the story began to grow around a despondent Army vet falsely accused of murder.
Joslyn: What upcoming projects can you tell us about?
James: I’m currently working on Blood on the Mountain, a suspense thriller set at a Colorado ski resort similar to one I used to work at as a snowboard instructor. A skier dies in an accident that isn’t an accident, and her fiancée has to find her killer or die trying.
