Episode 19
Listen to Oklahoma thriller/suspense writer, Victoria Patton, read from her Damien Kane series' opener, Innocence Taken. She describes her novels as "dark, edgy mashups of CSI, Motive, and Criminal Minds." To craft the perfect murders, Victoria uses her time in the Coast Guard and her Forensic Chemistry degree. But since she is averse to wearing orange and being in prison, she keeps her murderous sprees between the pages of her books. Inspired by her cat Pumpkin's advice on storytelling, her novels are not cozy mysteries and not for the faint of heart.
In the interview, Victoria discusses how she started writing and making a profit from her popular indie novels. For writing tips and marketing advice, don't miss this episode.
