This is a journey exploring the stories we enjoy reading, watching, listening to, and the people who create those stories... the people who write our books, comics, movies, television shows, and what drives them to create these stories that we truly cannot live without.

Good stories start with the writers, and we talk to them: the novelists, the comics writers, the screenwriters, the playwrights, where ever there's a story, someone's either making it up or writing it down.

“The Tin Men”: Alex DeMille and collaborative storytelling

Filmmaker and thriller author Alex DeMille talks about THE TIN MEN, Book 3 in the Brodie & Taylor series, and the final collaboration written with his father, Nelson DeMille.
Alex talks about writing this series with his father, how they wrote the earlier books in collaboration, and how the work changed after Nelson fell ill.
He talks about researching the robotics and AI technology referenced in the story, and how the technology and tactics used are closer to being real rather than science fiction, including representation of whether they are sentient or becoming self aware, and what we’d have to do when that happens.
And yes, the code on the dog tags on the cover is a relatively simple cypher that’s an Easter Egg to solve.
