Talking about DRAGONY RISING with Steven Miletto

Please take a few minutes to listen to this fun interview with podcaster/educator Steven Miletto of Geogia.

We discussed how the Frank Nagler Mysteries evolved, about techniques used to create lively, interesting characters, and how I paced the story so he would stay up at night reading, unable to put it down.

DRAGONY RISING asks the question: What happens when Det. Frank Nagler discovers that the explosion that levels two block of downtown Ironton, N.J. is not the worst thing that happened?

The Frank Nagler Mysteries are collectively a saga about an American city with Det. Frank Nagler at the center. They tell the tale of the city and its citizens and about the varied crimes Nagler must solve, often an personal cost.

It was wonderful to catch up over DRAGONY RISING.

Thanks so much for the chance to chat, Steven.
