You know you’ve found a series character when months after reading it—that character sticks in your mind. Reed Farrel Coleman’s Nick Ryan is that character for me. In this second book of the series, Blind to Midnight, Nick Ryan follows the trail of professional killers who assassinated his “Uncle Tony” and his wife. Another crime might be connected, one which took place in the shadows of 9-11 in the heart of New York. A fantastic series and highly recommended. Sleepless City (the first in the series) was the Authors on the Air Book of the Year.
In an interview that should be required listening for aspiring and new fiction writers, Reed talks about the importance of character, why they must have a life off the page, and how supporting—not secondary—characters are a reflection of the protagonist. In conversation with James L’Etoile for Authors on the Air.
