Global bestselling author Alex Michaelides has a wealth of entertaining information to share with his readers; his first two novels, The Silent Patient and The Maidens, didn’t include book tours so he’s been saving up intriguing stories about his writing process and past experiences as an author, screenwriter and worker in a psychiatric unit for teens. In this conversation, the hugely popular suspense writer discusses the influence of movies, Agatha Christie, Greek mythology and even Uma Thurman on his writing as well as his latest novel, The Fury – the book he said was the most fun to write.
