Episode 57: Creating true evil - with Lewis Hastings

<p><a href='https://lewishastings.wixsite.com/is-the-author'>Lewis Hastings</a> was our second signing for <a href='http://www.hobeck.net'>Hobeck Books</a> back in 2020, and together we're about to publish his fifth Jack Cade thriller - <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chemist-Jack-Cade-Thrillers-Book-ebook/dp/B09S149LGW'>The Chemist</a>. The novel features the return of an old foe for Cade and those he cares for most, as they face their greatest danger yet. So how does Lewis create such wonderfully twisted and memorable villains? And how much of his career in law-enforcement play a part in his writing? </p> <p>Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss the ethics of author services offering a quicker route to agents and publishers, and how a couple of days away in the Cotswolds have given them renewed energy for running the business.</p> <p></p> <p> </p>
