Hello Happy People

Dianne brings you her first ever writing team interview. While she has interviewed authors with a partner, she's never interviewed both authors in the same interview. She had so much fun talking with Jeff Ayers and Jon Land, she may have to reconsider and do more multi-author interviews. 

Both men were both accomplished writing professionals long before they joined forces to create the unique and masterfully crafted thriller, Leave No Trace, the first in a new series under their pseudonym, A. J. Landau. If you are blessed to spend any time at all speaking with this talented duo, it is easy to see how they complement each other in style, knowledge, and mutual admiration. 

Jeff Ayers worked as a reference librarian for nearly 30 years while pursuing his own writing career as a freelance writer and reviewer, for which he earned honors such as Fiction Reviewer of the Year. During his career Jeff had the opportunity to interview such notable authors as Dan Brown and James Patterson, among others. 

Jon Land has been a noted author since the 1980s with more than 60 books to his credit. While best known for his long and respected career as a thriller writer, Jon has produced a variety of work from award-winning nonfiction to a screenwriting credit for the film Dirty Deeds.  

Listening to the men talk about their working relationship, it's easy to understand how this writing team works so well. Both men are quick to compliment the other for what they bring to the partnership. Their thriller, Leave No Trace has received numerous impressive recommendations from a host of bestselling authors. such as Michael Connelly, Brad Meltzer, Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and more. 

So don't wait, go listen now!
