6:13 / Writers on Writing / Randy Overbeck

Fellow Podcaster (and fellow former English teacher) talks technology, writing, and his Haunted Shores mysteries. 

We delve into ways to avoid anachronisms when writing historical fiction before venturing into his writing process, linear rather than a mix-match puzzle process.

Overbeck’s novel Cruel Lessons was categorized as “one of the best mysteries of 2023” and “ene of the best thrillers I’ve ever read!” Of his Haunted Shores mysteries, critics have called Overbeck a “master storyteller” who provides a “rollicking good” read.
