The Open Mic: Writers in Their Own Words with Rob Hart

My guest today is the bestselling author of one of the most unique thriller series out there, the ASSASSINS ANONYMOUS series, which features a protagonist who is part of a 12-step program for reformed killers. Kind of like if John Wick or Lawrence Block’s Keller or Anton Chigurh decided one day to just stop taking lives for a living. It is, in a word, effing great! Okay, that’s two words but you get the point.  He has also authored several other books, either solo or with writing partners like Alex Segura, James Patterson or, most recently, Jeff Rake, creator and showrunner of Netflix’s Manifest. Their new book DETOUR, which came out earlier this year, is the story of a space shuttle flight crew that returns to Earth only to discover the home they’ve returned to is not the one they left behind. It is also the first in a series.  Rob has also penned numerous short stories, comic books, novellas and quite a few non-fiction articles in publications like Salon and Writer’s Digest.   I could go on, but let’s have me stop talking and get to the man – please welcome Rob Hart to the Open Mic.
