EP379: Deon Meyer — It’s a Chemical Reaction.

International bestselling author Deon Meyer returns to the podcast with his latest thriller The Dark Flood. Deon tells us how his journalistic hunger for fascinating stories has never gone away. And how he fuses two seemingly unrelated ideas, creating a chemical reaction, that results in great stories. We also discuss writing for cultures other than our own, and how the Two Marks used a glossary in Back to Reality to define some of the British colloquialisms used in their book.

.

In this episode you will discover:
  • How asking people about their lives can help with story ideas
  • Deon’s top tip for developing those ideas
  • How Benny Griessel, a character that started out as comic relief, evolved to get his own series!
