Welcome back to the second of our two-part episode with investigator and author John Nardizzi.
Last week, you heard all about the real-life work of a private investigator when John talked about his day job as the founder of and investigator at Nardizzi & Assocs., Inc. It’s not surprising that, as a creative person, John was able to channel all that life experience into a second career as an author.
After all, truth is often stranger than fiction, so there’s a lot to work with here.
In this episode, John and I focus on his writing life. We talk about:
- His fictional PI, Ray Infantine and the cases he’s worked
- Crime fiction authors who inspired his own writing
- Mistakes writers make when writing about PIs and how to get it right
- What it’s like for writing and life to intersect meaningfully
We have such a great conversation about books and writing overall—and if you love crime fiction, definitely tune in to this one.
