My client, Arthur Kerns, whose book THE RIVIERA CONTRACT I am currently shopping, will be a guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the Society of Southwestern Authors on May 5th at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will be held at 207 W. Clarendon Avenue, in Phoenix.
Arthur's talk will focus on how to write about the FBI, CIA and State Department with accuracy. The corporate cultures of these agencies can be very different. Kerns will offer examples through personal experience and historical reference to help writers of suspense thrillers craft believable characters and dynamics between agencies.
On May 9th at 11:30 a.m. Arthur will offer a talk in Scottsdale, AZ at the McCormick Ranch Golf Course titled "The FBI's Foreign Intelligence Operations During WWII." To reserve a spot for this talk, email simone@afioaz.org.
Arthur will also be speaking at this year's Book Passage Mystery Writers Conference in Corte Madera. We will keep you posted on the details for this event.
Arthur's career in the FBI included counterintelligence and terrorism. After he retired from the FBI, he became a consultant with the Director of Central Intelligence and the Department of State. Arthur reviews books for The Washington Independent Review of Books and is currently working on the sequel to THE RIVIERA CONTRACT.
Never underestimate the intelligence of your audience! Do your homework and make sure you are writing with authenticity and accuracy, regardless of subject.
