The Written Scene

For much of his life, author and musician Anthony Adams knew the creative world was where he always wanted to be. After decades in music, he has co-authored his debut novel, Chasing Shadows, and has plans for many more books and other creative endeavors.

In this episode of The Written Scene, Anthony discusses traveling the world to research their novel, following every bread crumb when writing a story, how their past in writing screenplays helped them write a novel, the fourth act of a novel and where it is or can be, what the right partner in collaboration does for the artistic process, learning what paths to take and what paths not to take, finding the perfect publisher to partner with, the joy of creating a visual book trailer for the novel, why we're in the golden age for novelists, the role of luck in a successful creative career, how ever character we create is a little bit of people we know, why characters in musicals break out into song, and a whole lot more.
