Marilee Albert's domestic thriller: HE'S GOTTA GO

Well, it came upon me from a lifetime of loving this genre, crime thrillers.

I've always... been a huge imbiber of this genre in literature.

You and I just finished talking about it.

I love Patricia Highsmith.

I love Iris Murdoch.

I know a lot of people don't see her as crime thriller, but I do.

I've read all the James Ellroy and the Michael Connelly and just I'm a huge fan of the Japanese crime thriller genre.

I know it's in translation, but it just really does translate.

So I have read so much in the genre.

So I come from screenwriting, and I did do a lot of crime thriller screenplays as well.

And so then also my bio is a little dated.

My kids are out of the house now.

Oh, okay.

My Boston Terrier is locked in my husband's office, so he's still around.

And now we have a rescue dog, too.

They're barking.

You can't hear them.

But...

i uh i started doing the whole mom thing and i was out in the suburbs and so it was really hard for me to to pursue the career stuff with hollywood because i was stuck out you know i was doing the the carpool and the driving him to practice and helping with homework and you know there's not a lot of time and so and also movies are very hard to get made and it involves a lot of a lot of luncheons a lot of meetings and it also involves a lot of travel so I decided to pivot to writing novels.
