Matt Lynn: The Real Cold War
http://mattlynn.blogspot.com/2012/01/real-cold-war.html
Saturday, 21 January 2012. The Real Cold War. I did a blog for The Spectator last week about setting Ice Force in the Arctic, but for anyone who missed it, here it is again. But now there is a new type of cold war – one that is more literal than metaphorical. The Arctic is perhaps the most compelling region in the world to set a thriller in 2012 – which is why I chose to set my new novel ‘Ice Force’ in the frozen wastelands around the North Pole. What makes a great location for a thriller? There North Po...

Matt Lynn: February 2012
http://mattlynn.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 2 February 2012. Location, Location, Location. In the estate agency business, they always say location, location, and location are the three most important factors when choosing a house. I’m starting to think the same thing may apply to writing a thriller as well. What more could a thriller writer ask for? All of a sudden I had a really original location for a short action-adventure story. And one that hadn’t been done to death already. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Out Now In Paperback.

Matt Lynn: September 2011
http://mattlynn.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 September 2011. I had an e-mail this morning from a reader who said he was a big fan of my books, which was nice of course. But he also pointed out that the characters in the Death Force series used the word ‘sodding’ all the time, and it got a bit repetitive. He’s right, of course. They do, and it is. There is a reason, however. They are soldiers. In real life it would be fu%£kig this and f! So I use sodding instead. But maybe that doesn’t quite work either? Thursday, 1 September 2011. Subsc...

Matt Lynn: October 2011
http://mattlynn.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 October 2011. Will The Kindle Get Men to Read More? If you haven’t bough one of the new Kindles yet, I really recommend it. It’s lighter than the old one, which makes it completely portable, but it is just as slickly designed, easy to read, and simple to use. But it might well encourage men to read as much as women – which can only be a good thing. Saturday, 22 October 2011. Now, however, something is changing. Authors are becoming entrepreneurs. And, more and more authors are turning to Kin...

Wednesday, 22 June 2011. Why Aren't There More Sports Thrillers? Over on the Curzon. Blog, our newest member Emlyn Rees has written an interesting post about his plans for a Wimbledon thriller. That set me to thinking about an interesting question. Why aren't there more sports thrillers? The spectacle itself is so dramatic, it is hard for a writer to match the intensity of the contest. If so, there never will be a really great sports thriller. Thursday, 16 June 2011. Monday, 13 June 2011. In my Money Week.

Monday, 15 August 2011. The Possibilities on Kindle. The Kindle is one of the most interesting things happening in publishing right now. Not all of it is good, of course. The publishing industry may end getting destroyed the way the music industry was. But it also creates possibilities. There is a fascinating story. One of the things the Kindle can do for us is create that kind of journalistic immediacy. In fact, it is a possibility I am working on right now. But more on that later. Out Now In Paperback.

The Curzon Group: June 2012
http://thecurzongroup.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Eight Writers, One Mission.The Return Of The Great British Thriller. Monday, 25 June 2012. By Richard Jay Parker. Was chatting to a Kindle convert on Friday night. When people get enthusiastic about their new reading devices it's usually because of their ability to save space in their suitcase or the speed in which they can get hold of books by their favourite authors. They'd perfected the art of lying on their side and touching the kindle through the sheet to turn the page. Saturday, 16 June 2012. Catal...
