🤎 𝟯𝗤 with 𝗝.𝗣. 𝗣𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗲🤎
Today on #3Q I’m chatting with 𝗝.𝗣. 𝗣𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗲 about his latest novel, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘳.
J.P. Pomare is the bestselling author of eight novels, several Audible Original crime thrillers, and two of his books have been adapted for the screen - 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴.
I’ve read every book J.P. has written, and loved them all. He was a little concerned we chatted for too long, but his answers were such a fascinating insight into both his writing process and the thinking behind not only 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘳, but all his novels. Honestly, it was a real masterclass and I could have listened for hours!
In this episode of 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢 𝘛𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘳, J.P. shares: ✍️ How he was surprised that his editor liked it (and that most of the mathematics stayed in!) ✍️ The challenge of making the US setting feel authentic and real ✍️ Why he hopes his readers are entertained by the story, while also reflecting on their own vulnerability to scams and schemes. (𝟴 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝟯𝟬 𝘀𝗲𝗰)

If you asked me at Bookatini’s first event in Feb if I thought our last event of the year would be a crime fiction panel with four top tier authors? I would have lauuuuughed and laughed and laughed some more..
But deep down hoped it would turn out to be true.
Needless to say, last night was an absolute dream! The most incredibly fitting way to cap off 2025 with Killer Conversations alongside @cwhite_author@jppomare@lauramccluskey__@mattrogersauthor who so generously shared what makes them tick as writers, where their stories begin and how they craft those insanely clever twists!🤯 It was such a fascinating conversation and I know our guests could have listened to you all night. Thankyou thankyou thankyou❤️
Big love to our event sponsors @lellopasta_ and @zoncello.official And the setting that made it all happen @hotelesplanadestkilda What a way to go out!!!!!🤌🏼
