Andrew Child, New York Times Bestselling Author of No Plan B
10/20/22 • 99 min
Today, we celebrate an epic milestone, as we launch our 100th Episode of The Thriller Zone. Woo-Hoo! Yeah, we're stoked!
Who better to help celebrate the "Mighty 100" but the co-author of one of the most iconic thriller franchises in the world: Jack Reacher. Yes, Andrew Child and brother Lee Child have penned yet another page-turning thriller in NO PLAN B.
On today's show, we dig deep on what makes this franchise the success it is. We also learn, thanks to the free-flowing thoughts of Andrew, some of the best advice I've heard since I began this podcast.
Perhaps it's because I'm not that crazy about following rules, or the fact how I've often forged my own path, but when I heard "Ignore the rules," I knew I had a friend in Andrew Child.
Andrew, who also writes under his given name of Andrew Grant, peels back the layers on the publishing business, what it takes to create a winning franchise, what it's like to write with his older brother, Lee, and so much more.
If you enjoy (a) page-turning thrillers, from (b) authors who know how to craft stories that waste no time getting to the point, and (c) enjoy hearing the "inside scoop" on the writing business (and finding one's personal motivation), then You Are In For A Treat!
Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Watch on YouTube.com/TheThrillerZone, and of course, be sure to SUBSCRIBE both on YouTube and where you enjoy your podcasts.
Then, FOLLOW, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to TheThrillerZone.com.
Finally, THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU for joining me and Andrew, along with all the fans who have helped make #TheTZ not only one of the most listened to podcasts about thriller fiction, but one of the fastest growing podcasts in the world!
...and BIG CHEERS to The Next 100!!

5-Star Reviews Are Cool
Remember when you were a young kid in school and when you did something out of the ordinary, you got a gold star for it. Pretty nice, huh? Well, achieving some sort of recognition for some of us...never actually leaves. Which is why 5-STAR Reviews for our podcast, The Thriller Zone, makes us feel like a shining example of what a good student, or accomplished athlete is like. SO, next time you’re listening to an episode of The TZ, and you’re really digging what you hear, why not consider taking 2 minutes and leaving a review. It would mean a lot.

Simon Gervais, author of The Blackbriar Genesis
We are "this close" to hitting 100 episodes. But until we do, we have the super-talented thriller writer, Simon Gervais on Today's 99th episode of The Thriller Zone.
Simon is just one of the latest writers in the Robert Ludlum thriller franchise, and he shows his stuff in this white-knuckle thriller that will keep you turning pages until deep into the night. Or nights.

Come for his advice, stay for his accent. Simon is a terrific guy, a masterful talent, and someone I can now call friend.
You're going to love these 45 minutes of insights and laughs, and I trust you'll take away a few truths that will help you in your writing journey. And if you're simply someone who loves having a "Front-row Seat To The Best Thriller Writers In The World"...then you've come to the right place.

Haris Orkin, author of You Only Live Once
On today's BONUS Episode of The Thriller Zone, I'm happy to welcome Haris Orkin to the podcast.
Haris has written a fun book called You Only Live Once. If you're a fan of the Ian Fleming character, James Bond, but also enjoy parody stories, then you're in for a treat with this fun read.
Haris and I have less than 6 degrees of separation, as I used to follow his dad, Orkin, "back in the day" when I was on the radio. & Bert, one of the biggest, most well-known duos on the radio for comedy, was a big influence on my early radio shows.
Step on inside The Thriller Zone Virtual Studios as I sit down with Haris Orkin. And after the show, if you'd like to learn more, go to: HarisOrkin.com
