And now your Tuesday Moment of Zen, an extemporaneous moment, thanks to my buddy Anthony Gedell and @stevestrattonusa, author of the military thriller #ShadowSanction, and #audiobook of the same name.
Both gents have become good friends these past 2.5 years of @TheThrillerZone, so I'm here recording Steve's audio and answering Anthony's question, as part of my upcoming #ThrillerZoneMinute, or in this case four.

🎙️ New Episode Alert: The Thriller Zone with David Temple 🎙️
Hey, Thriller Zone fans! 🌟
I'm thrilled to announce the release of our 161st episode, and it's one you absolutely cannot miss. We're nearing the end of 2023, and what a journey it's been! This episode is extra special as we feature a true rising star in the thriller genre, Steve Stratton, author of the electrifying Lance Bear Wolf series. 📚
Here are three key takeaways from our latest face-to-face conversation that I'm excited to share with you:
1️⃣ Steve Stratton's Diverse Background Fuels His Writing: Steve's illustrious career in the military and the Secret Service isn't just a set of experiences; it's the bedrock of his storytelling. His new thriller, "Shadow Sanction," is a testament to his deep understanding of tactical operations and high-stakes scenarios. Steve's real-life adventures have given him an authentic voice that resonates throughout his work, making his stories not just believable, but gripping and intense. 🎖️
2️⃣ A Shared Passion for Food and Writing: It's not all about the thrills and chills! Steve and I share a love for good food, and we dive into how this passion intertwines with writing. For Steve, food is an experience that starts the moment you walk into a restaurant, and this sensory attention to detail is something he brings to his writing. Whether it's a sushi restaurant in Midtown or cooking classes in a retirement community, the culinary world offers a rich tapestry of inspiration for characters and scenes. 🍣🍽️
3️⃣ The Evolution of a Writer: Steve's journey from his first book to his latest work is a masterclass in author development. He's learned the importance of editing, the structure of storytelling within each chapter, and the nuances of character arcs. Steve's candid discussion about the writing process, including the challenges and triumphs, is a valuable insight for both aspiring and established writers. ✍️
