Welcome to Tales from the Book Nook, and I'm excited to have another author in my grips. Today I'm talking to Sam Elliott about his excellent debut novel, Haze.
In this episode, we chat about what makes a great crime novel and the importance of character-driven narratives. Sam shared the inspiration behind Haze, drawing from his childhood memories and the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires.
We talked about the unsettling atmosphere in the book, how Sam's writing process often starts with a single image, and his journey from dodgy publishers to Pan Macmillan.
Stay til the end for Sam's advice for aspiring authors, and a tidbit about his next book.
