Today, Greg interviews Jim about his soon-to-be-released thriller, "Dueling Six Demons," the latest in his Dangerous Clique series.

First, Jim talks about the role of setting in his thrillers, and how, over the past year, his writing has become increasingly more tied to his personal experiences in locations like Ukraine and Taiwan.

Next, Jim discusses how he creates his characters, almost all of whom draw inspiration from real figures in Jim's life. Jim also talks about the nature of a story's ending, and how it must either be an earned happy ending or a complex, imperfect ending.

Finally, Greg asks Jim about the growing mood of cynicism in the series, and whether or not that reflects Jim's personal views. Jim also speaks about the tension between creating a world that feels lived-in and believable, while also avoiding the injection of political commentary into the story.
