Allen Eskens opens up on his writing process

"I’m naturally drawn to mysteries because of being an attorney or vice versa. I went to one of the seminars at the Iowa Writers’ Festival. It was on mystery writing. This guy gets up and says, by this page, this has to happen; by this page, this happens. It’s this formula, and by the end of the seminar, he said, that formula is what you do; you do that formula, and you’ll write a mystery. And I walked out of there so depressed. I said, I’m never going to write a mystery because I don’t want to ever write based on a formula."  - Allen Eskens from an Interview with Melissa Gish
