INTERVIEW OF ALLEN WYLER AUTHOR OF DEADLY ODDS- A THRILLER

I want to welcome Allen Wyler to Books R Us. Allen is the author of Deadly Odds
a new thriller that features a young hacker in a cyber-terrorism plot. Check back soon for my review and a giveaway.



                            Interview by Allen Wyler

 
Q: How did you come up with the idea of the story?

     A: The first novel I ever wrote was based on this story’s kernel: a geek who develops a strategy to successfully gamble draws unwanted attention to himself. But that novel turned out to be disaster and was rejected by every agent I queried. However, the idea of being able to beat the odds remained intriguing yet elusive. Then one day I read about Nate Silver and his uncannily ability to accurately predict various phenomenon based on statistics. After all, this was what the 2011 Brad Pitt movie Moneyball was based on. Once I read about Silver, I knew the plot was much more believable.

 Q: What influenced you to create a computer hacker protagonist than the usual medical professional?

A: There are several reasons. First, I don’t like being pigeonholed into the sub-genre of “medical thriller.” In addition, it’s unbelievable to believe that a healthcare professional would have the computer expertise—or time—to pull off something like Arnold Gold does. More importantly, in doing my research for this story, I became fascinated with the Darknet and Internet security. I really wanted a way to weave this interesting information into a compelling story. So... a likeable computer hacker seemed to be a much more interesting character to develop than another neurosurgeons. I love Arnold Gold’s character and am really glad I settled on him.

Q: Why Vegas? Have you always wanted to write a book with Sin City as the setting?

A: When first developing the story I didn’t have any city in mind other than I knew Arnold lived in Seattle. (I love the city as a backdrop to stories.) Arnold was so uneasy about seeing an “escort” that it made sense for him to go someplace far from home where he’d be unlikely to run into anyone he knew. Given the reputation of Sin City, it just felt right to send him there.

Q: Do you plan on writing more thriller books outside of the medical thriller genre?

A: You bet. I like exploring topics dealing with computers and the Internet. I’m
especially intrigued with hacking and the Darknet. My next book, Cutter’s Trial,
however, is not a thriller and lands me right back in the medical arena because it
explores the issue of physician assisted suicide. Having been involved in a couple start-up companies, I’m also toying with using that subject as a basis for a book, but I have nothing in development along these lines at the present time. We’ll see what happens.

Q: Would you ever consider a sequel to this book?

A: Glad you asked the question. Both Arnold Gold and Palmer Davidson are such
wonderfully rich characters that Robert Astle (my agent) and I agree they are well-suited for a sequel. At the moment I’m busy writing Deadly Odds 2.0.

Q: Do you think this book could be a movie? Who could you picture playing Arnold?

A: Of all my prior thrillers, I think this one has the most cinematic potential. I’m lousy at casting, so if it were ever made into a movie (my wildest dream), I’d leave that choice to the producers.

REVIEW OF PUREX CRYSTALS AROMATHERAPHY IN WASH LAUNDRY ENHANCER

.

Purex Crystals Aromatherapy is available in 3 magnificent scents, which will eliminate laundry odors and boost your mood.


You can get them in Energy, Well Being, and Serenity

Well Being brightens any mood with the happy fragrance of fresh blossoms.
Energy helps you tackle any day with the stimulating power of citrus.
Serenity keeps you calm all day long with the gentle scent of water-lilies.

Add Purex Crystals Aromatherapy into your washer’s tub (top, front-loading, or HE) at the start of the wash and it works with your laundry detergent. This allows the crystals to infuse your clothing with a scent that lasts for weeks, not days.

 I have been using the crystals (Well Being Scent) for a few weeks now and I am impressed in how it works. My clothes smell fresh and clean even after sitting in the closet for over a week. The product worked great even if I added less to each load. I was afraid that the crystals may damage some clothing but that was not the case.

Disclosure: 

The Purex corporation provided me with a free sample of the product for my honest review and I was not compensated for my review.
