Author Guest Post — Fiction Books

In a recent guest post from author Michael Shusko published on Fiction Books, Michael talks about the Tradecraft world of terrorism, international intrigue, espionage and clandestine operations, as well as the future of the series. 

"A revolving cast of characters, good and bad, is interwoven throughout the series. They disappear and reappear in turn — and both have traits and attributes which will surprise readers. Unbeknownst to most of the characters, their individual stories in each book are a small part of something much larger.​"

Guest Post - A New Look on Books

In a recent guest post from author Michael Shusko published on A New Look on Books, Michael talks about how he came to write, the therapeutic nature of the writing process, and what he hopes readers take from the Tradecraft series.  ​​

"The one thing I hope people take away from my books is that the world is not nearly as bad as it seems on the news. There are so many differences on the surface between people from other nations and cultures. It's good to have those differences — there's a lot of power in having those different cultures — but deep inside I believe people are the same."
