With over 30 published works, including the popular Charlie Parker series, his books have captivated readers around the world. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Shamus, and Macavity awards in the US, a CWA Dagger in the UK, and an Irish Book Award, as well as numerous international accolades, and has published more UK Sunday Times Top 10 Hardback Bestsellers than any other Irish writer. His collection of short stories, Night &amp; Day, is out at the end of October.</p><p><br></p><p>We loved speaking with John and hearing how he began to write his supernatural crime novels featuring Charlie Parker, and discussing what authors who write cross-genre should (and shouldn't) tell agents and editors when pitching such stories. We also loved getting into a proper craft discussion about writing in general, and how to write in a way that is sustainable for a whole career.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/John-Connolly/author/B000APOEIY\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Night &amp; Day and John's other books now</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/johnconnollybooks/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow John on Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.johnconnollybooks.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit John's website</a></p><p><br></p><p>Support us on Patreon and get great benefits!: <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone</a></p><p><br></p><p>Page One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
