P.D. Workman
P.D. Workman asked P.D. Workman:

As a prolific writer, you write both thrillers and mystery. Do you get into a different frame of mind when moving from one genre to another?

P.D. Workman I think the protagonist makes a bigger difference to my frame of mind than the genre. Thrillers and mysteries have a different structure, but it is really the characters’ that I need to switch tracks for. Erin Price is light and optimistic, Zachary Goldman darker and grittier, and Reg Rawlins is playful and adventurous. It’s always fun to go back to Reg after writing something more serious.
