Death Waits in the Dark with Mark Edward Langley

Like so many authors, Mark Edward Langley was inspired by many of the great mystery authors of the past. Mark began writing seriously when he retired and now has many book ideas waiting to be written. He is inspired by the Four Corners area of Arizona, a place familiar to Tony and Anne Hillerman fans. In our interview Mark shares the story of driving through this landscape and recording what he saw into a tape recorder so that he would have that information available to him when he wrote. We mention an interview with Mark's at the International Thriller Writers site and you can read that here. Today's show is supported by my patrons at Patreon.
