Metal Spies is a fast-moving action-thriller about a conman fronting a metal band—and getting blackmailed into stopping a billionaire’s plot against the U.S.
In this episode of The Thriller Pitch Podcast, author Cole Chase talks about where the idea came from, how his tech background influences his storytelling, and some of the research involved in his books.
We talk about:
- His daughters influence on the idea behind a metal band heist crew
- His life experience that shaped his novel and the research he did to bring it to life
- His writing process for Metal Spies
