Death Waits in the Dark with Mark Edward Langley - a podcast by Alexandra Amor: Award-winning author

Like so many authors, Mark Edward Langley was inspired by many of the great mystery authors of the past.















Mark began writing seriously when he retired and now has many book ideas waiting to be written. He is inspired by the Four Corners area of Arizona, a place familiar to Tony and Anne Hillerman fans. In our interview Mark shares the story of driving through this landscape and recording what he saw into a tape recorder so that he would have that information available to him when he wrote.







We mention an interview with Mark's at the International Thriller Writers site and you can read that here.

Excerpt from Death Waits in the Dark









The drive to Flat Iron Rock from Farmington took less than twenty minutes; enough time for Arthur to let the desperation he had heard in Margaret Tabaaha’s voice sink in.  The thought that she had just lost both of her sons simultaneously was too much for him to comprehend. And he could hear that fact tearing away at her soul every time he replayed their conversation in his mind.
