In the email she said she’d love to speak to me about my book. On April 30, 2009, I received an email from Kelley Ragland, the executive editor at Minotaur Books. At the time, I was living in Florida I moved back to Hawaii in January 2009. I’d entered the competition with my first novel One Man’s Paradise in 2008.
One Man’s Paradise was the result of that decision.Ĭan you tell us a little about winning the MB/MWA First Crime Novel Competition? When I was 29, I finally decided to ditch the Law, move to Hawaii, and try my hand at writing a novel. As I got older, I began reading legal thrillers and decided that I wanted to be a criminal defense lawyer. I think it was the Hardy Boys books that first tempted me to write crime fiction. I’ve wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember.
Hi Douglas, thanks for talking to us and welcome to Beauty and Lace. We were able to find out a little more about his life and career in this recent interview so sit back, grab a coffee and find out a bit about Good As Gone author Douglas Corleone. But Lindsay's captors did not leave an easy trail-and following it will lead Simon across the continent, through the ritziest nightclubs and the seediest back alleys, and into the darkest, most terrifying place of all: His own past.Douglas Corleone was a criminal lawyer who decided to follow his passion and switch career paths. With renewed vigor, Simon sets out in pursuit of the missing child and the truth behind her disappearance. Until, that is, six-year-old Lindsay Sorkin disappears from her parents' hotel room in Paris, and the French police deliver Simon an ultimatum: He can spend years in a French jail for his actions during a long-ago case, or he can work with them now to find Lindsay. He's still haunted by the disappearance of his own daughter years ago when she was just a child, still unsolved, and stranger kidnappings hit too close to home. He only has one rule: He won't touch stranger abduction cases. Marshal Simon Fisk now works as a private contractor, tracking down and recovering children who were kidnapped by their own estranged parents. From acclaimed writer Douglas Corleone comes this heart-pounding tale of international intrigue about a man whose mission is to find a young girl who is as GOOD AS GONE.
