Michael Connelly interview
Books, Interviews | Keith Rawson | October 21, 2009 at 3:12 pm
There are few novelists who have achieved the level of success that Michael Connelly has. In the last twenty years, Connelly’s 22 books have been translated into over 30 languages, while he has been awarded virtually every honor the mystery/crime community has to offer and has created a character who may very well rival the endurance of the creations of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald. And on October 13th at the Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ, I had the unique opportunity to sit down with Michael Connelly and speak with the critically acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestselling novelist about his illustrious career and, of course, his 15th Harry Bosch novel, 9 Dragons.

Cool interview. I know when authors have new books out you tend to hear the same questions and answers over and over, but these were some fresh questions.
Apart from that, that tape screeching in the background was incredibly annoying to me and rude to Michael (or anyone who gives you their time). The interview was only 14 minutes. Couldn’t that person have taken a short break so you could squeeze this in?
Jeff, I agree. I wish things had been a little smoother sound wise. And yeah, the dude doing the packing could have split for a spell. But, the one thing you have to remember is that the Poisoned Pen is a business, and they have been more than gracious enough with letting me conduct my interviews on store property. Also, I will say that the store was pretty chaotic that day
9 Dragons its a great thriller, highly recomended.
