Episode #42 Interview with Craig DiLouie author of Our War

Craig DiLouie is an author of thrillers, apocalyptic/horror, and
science fiction. He has been nominated for major literary awards
such as the Bram Stoker Award and Audie Award, translated into
multiple languages, and optioned for film. He is a member of the
HWA, SFWA, International Thriller Writers, and IFWA.


Warning novels are important. So like Sinclair Lewis It Can’t
Happen here felt like a well-timed warning 90 years after it was
published. With Our War, Craig DiLouie was put in an
uncomfortable place as the author of a warning novel that
appeared to be coming true on January 6th, 2021. When right-wing
seditionists tried to start the very conflict, he warned about
it.


In this interview talk about his earlier novels but our main
focus is Our War a novel set in a second modern American civil
war in Indianapolis my home state. So, we talk about American
politics, Indiana, the warning novel. The first half of the
interview is non-spoiler but in the second half we drill down on
the nuts and bolts of writing this book.
