Today I am joined by none other than crime novelist Josh Stallings. TRICKY (one of the most anticipated crime books of 2021), the book that he's probably the most proud of so far. Josh Stallings—an already acclaimed crime writer—used the experiences of his son Dylan (who is neurodiverse) to inform one of his protagonists, and it is truly brilliant and affecting. Since publication he’s written a couple of essays about it, you can see one here: https://t.co/YhH6gnuong?amp=1, and he's spreading the word, how things like SMART teams can save lives.

We talk about

*His early life and career

*His challenges with Dyslexia

*How Dyslexia made him a great writer

*The techniques he uses to write

*How his and his sons experiences influenced his recent book Tricky

*What's next for Josh and why his new book is set in 1984 Los Angeles, California
