S1 E7 - Graham Bartlett

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with police advisor and crime author, Graham Bartlett, to discuss the intricacies of writing - including characters, crafting a novel, and authenticity - as well as touching on his debut novel, Bad for Good, and his two complex characters, Detective Superintendent Jo Howe, and DCS Phil Cooke. I won't give any spoilers away, but this is a debut not to be missed!

'Graham Bartlett rose to become chief superintendent and the divisional commander of Brighton and Hove police. His first non-fiction book Death Comes Knocking was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, which he then followed with Babes in the Wood. He co-wrote these books with bestselling author, Peter James, and has since published Bad for Good and Force of Hate starring (now) Chief Superintendent Jo Howe. Bartlett is also a police procedural and crime advisor helping scores of authors and TV writers inject authenticity into their work.'

I had the honour of working with Graham on my own upcoming debut novel and I absolutely cannot wait to have him on board for future episodes!
