Ep530 – Angela Marsons – on getting a 12-book deal
We welcome the wonderful Angela Marsons back to the podcast. Angela is the multi-million bestselling author of the DI Kim Stone series. And she’s back with Six Graves, the 16th book in the series. Despite her mega sales (five million and counting) and a 12-book contract, Angela tells us why she doesn’t take a single book for granted, and why every one she starts feels like the first. She also answers our listener questions and the two Marks discuss the pros and cons of being prolific.
In this episode you will discover:
- Writing unlikeable characters
- Working with pen and paper
- And why she’s signed a 12-book deal with her publisher…
