It took Carl Vonderau a long time to become a full-time author. He left his native Cleveland to study economics at Stanford, then spent more than 30 years as a banker in the United States, Latin America and North Africa — international settings that served as inspiration for his crime novels “Murderabilia” and “Saving Myles.” His work was honored with a Left Coast Crime award for Best Debut, and a San Diego Book award for Best Mystery.
We discuss:
>> Why behind every crime is a family
>> The importance of setting and point of view.
>> Focusing on “voice”
>> The use of objects in character development and storytelling
>> Writing 50,000 words in a month.
>> Getting an agent through a one-sentence pitch
>> Using a developmental editor
>> Being raised a Christian Scientist
>> Etc.
