Author and paralegal Mary Keliikoa steps into the Interrogation Room to clear up a few things about her writing and her craft. Mary spent more than a decade working in the legal system, and she's used that personal experience and professional network to write DERAILED, a first-person PI novel about investigator Kelly Pruett. Pruett has a deaf daughter, inherited a PI business from her father before she feels prepared to run it, and a desperate mother has just hired Pruett to find her daughter's killer. In this episode, Mary and host Gavin Reese discuss writing in first person, using personal experience to further her fiction, character development, and her road from aspiring writer to published author.
