Writing the Familiar and Unknown, with Jeff Carson

Authors Love Readers, a Weekly Conversation on Writing

Jeff Carson is an Amazon bestselling author of the David Wolf thriller/mystery/suspense series set in the high country of Colorado and mountain west. The first David Wolf novel, Foreign Deceit, is an international mystery-thriller Jeff wrote while living in Italy for a year with his family. The David Wolf series is now 12 books and counting. Jeff and his wife, Cristina, live with their two sons in Colorado. When not writing, Jeff enjoys golfing, hiking, camping and whatever his sons are into at that particular moment. Jeff talks with host Patricia McLinn about how he began writing while missing things familiar but digging into the freedom of writing things that are unknown. In his words: "One of the biggest mantras I was telling myself was 'what would I not do in this situation?'. I'm a super cautious person in real life -- probably like a lot of people -- but David Wolf goes into danger head on! So I ended up not writing what I knew."
