Interview with Crime Writer Frank Zafiro: S. 6, Ep. 18

Debbi Mack interviews crime writer Frank Zafiro on the Crime Cafe podcast. Debbi (00:54): But first let me put in a good word for Bluebrry podcasting. I've been using Bluebrry podcasting as my hosting service for my podcast for years, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. They provide great service. You're in complete control of your own podcast. You never have to leave your own website. There is a plugin that you can use to incorporate Bluebrry and distribution through your website. So it's a great service that has taken a lot of the work of podcasting out for me. And I find for that reason that it's a company that I can get behind 100% and say, you should try this. If you want a podcast, try out Bluebrry. It doesn't require a long-term contract. It's just a great company, period. And I am a Bluebrry affiliate. So there's that. Debbi (02:07): And did I mention that they have free technical support by email, video and phone? Yes, you can actually reach a human being there. I'll say no more. And, once again, we have a transcription of the show notes. It's a miracle! :) Click here to download a copy in PDF. Debbi (02:24): Hi everyone. Today, I have a guest making his second appearance on the podcast, a retired police officer, he hails from the great state of Oregon. The author of more than 30 novels, including the River City series and the Charlie-316 series, he also hosts his own podcast, Wrong Place, Write Crime, which I have had the pleasure of being on. My guest today is Frank Zafiro. Hi, Frank. Welcome back. And thanks for being here. Frank (03:00): Hey, Debbi. Great to be back again. Debbi (03:02): Excellent. Wonderful. It's good to see you. You seem to be making something of a career out of writing collaborative novels and series. Can you write them faster than you would if you were writing them on your own or is it about the same? Frank (03:20): Oh, I think it's faster. For a couple of reasons, I mean one you are you know, you're only writing about half of the first
