SPA Girls Podcast – EP185 – Interview with the Writer’s Detective, Adam Richardson

It’s the start of Mystery May, and we have a doozy to start you off!

The SPA Girls spent time with Adam Richardson, an American cop who helps authors and screenwriters with their crime-fiction questions through his website and podcast called the Writer’s Detective Bureau. He knows his stuff – Adam spent seventeen years of his 20+ year law enforcement career as a detective – and he was able to answer all our silly/strange/just-plain-dumb questions about being a cop in the US.

We talk about everything from what writers need to know about law enforcement in the US, how the police and sheriff departments’ work, how detectives approach a crime scene and deal with witnesses and suspects, and a myriad of other interesting details.

Whether you write romance with a mystery subplot, or are a fully fledged suspense or mystery writer, this episode is for you.

    Omigosh, I can’t believe I didn’t find out about you until my detective writer guru, Adam Richardson posted this podcast! Yayyyy! I found you! I’m a new novelist, new in the way that I’ve written 3 books and grew weary of The Gatekeepers process. A fellow writer where I live in Alaska puts on the world-renowned 20Booksto50 conferences and talked me into learning all I can about Indie publishing. I write romantic suspense crime thrillers, Seasoned romance, and contemporary romance. I can’t wait to receive your newsletters! Thank you 🙂
