398: Trust Your Reader and Trust Yourself: Writing a Multiple Point of View Thriller - Interview with JK Ellem

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing JK Ellem.

Jack is the author of the Amazon #1 US & UK Best Selling book, Mill Point Road, A Winter's Kill, and the No Justice Series. He was born in London and spent his formative childhood years reading infamous British comics like Action and 2000 AD. He has no agent, no publicist, and no huge publishing house behind him. Yet in 3 short years since he wrote his first thriller novel, he’s  become an Amazon #1 Bestselling Thriller Author in both the UK and the US in 6 crime fiction categories.

Today we’re discussing his Ravenwood series (which I read and loved) and how to create mystery and suspense in multiple point of view novels.

 

In this episode JK Ellem and I discuss: How a wrong turn and a gated community inspired his Ravenwood series. Why he chose to break the rules of POV and how he pulled it off. Creating questions that get the reader involved in the mystery and control the pacing.

 

Plus, his #1 tip for writers.
