Jam-packed with goodness is this interview with Paul O’Connor, a writer of short stories and novels.
You’re going to take tons of notes and bookmark this
episode; the guidance is that fantastic. (No, that’s not hyperbole; that’s
reality.)
Paul O’Connor came into writing after he left the
data-driven gaming industry. Gaming’s focus on productivity, Agile Planning,
Return on Investment, and more to determine a product’s profitability are ideas
that he converted to his own writing. He shares the simple yet important ways
he uses data in this interview and in a slide show.

website. Click the shareable link to copy, load into the URL of your browser, “go”
and voila: the slide show.
Paul Ryan O’Connor is a frequent contributor to Ellery Queen
Mystery Magazine, where his debut short story, “Teddy’s Favorite Thing,” was
voted a 2023 Readers Award. He has also been published by Mystery Magazine and
Shotgun Honey. Paul is an active member of the Mystery Writers of America, and
lives in Carlsbad, California, with his family and a borrowed dog.
