Books & Looks: Real Books for Real Readers was started as a podcast to supplement Blaine Desantis’ website, ViewsOnBooks.com, and expand into audio interviews with authors.
With Books & Looks, Blaine’s goal is to focus on real books that real people will read. At least half of the books he reviews are either new authors or unknown authors that many in the general public are unaware of. After a segment reviewing books or interviewing authors, Blaine ends each episode with a discussion of the movies and TV shows he is currently watching.
This Week’s Episode
Today we are joined by none other than author James A. Scott to discuss his latest release, The Blood of Patriots and Traitors, the second book in the Max Geller mystery series. Follow the action-packed story of Max Geller, a former CIA agent living in Australia who is blackmailed into returning to Russia to bring out a Soviet defector with critical information about the Russian plan to invade its former satellite countries.
With explosive action scenes, cerebral spy games, and traitorous twists, The Blood of Patriots and Traitors is a pulse-pounding spy thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. James shares exclusive insights with our listeners, from his writing process to the inspiration behind the Max Geller character. Plus, a review of the dark comedy book, Just Desserts, by author Jerry Crowther.
