Since we began The Hobcast Book Show just over three years ago, we've spoken to a number of former police officers turned authors. All of them have fascinating stories to share, and valuable insights into how to mix the reality of policing with the need to tell a good story. Our interview with thriller author Roger A. Price follows that tradition. A former Detective Inspector, with a thirty-one police career and extensive experience running under cover operations, Roger has been a published author for a decade. His most recent novels,The D.S Martin Draker series are published by Sharpe Books. In this fascinating interview, we discuss what authors get right and get wrong about policing, and Roger shares his thoughts on how he judges if his books have the right balance of action, dialogue and exposition.
Also this week, does the EU's decision to regulate the way AI companies operate offer the publishing industry hope of being protected? And have Spotify really made a difference to author incomes since they offered 15 hours of free audiobooks a month to subscribers?
