Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beau L'Amour Interview: Skyring Water
Q: How does your approach differ when you're writing something with your own voice versus channeling your father's style?
Beau notes that writing from scratch is more difficult due to needing to generate everything, whereas adapting his father's material allowed him to maintain a close approximation of the style while still injecting his own structure and contemporary perspective.
Beau L'Amour Interview: Skyring Water
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about taking your father's notes and completing a book based on them?
Beau explains that Skyring Water was the result of turning a nearly complete project from his father into a finished novel, adding significant new material and refining backgrounds and stakes to make it cohesive while preserving the original voice where possible.
Paranormal Mysteries
Q: Do you enjoy mysteries with ghosts or psychic sleuths, or do you prefer a more traditional detective story?
The hosts express a preference for balancing atmosphere and mystery, enjoying paranormal elements when they heighten tension and curiosity without taking away the logical problem-solving core of the sleuth, and they highlight favorites that maintain fair play and agency for the main character.
Yiddish Sherlock Holmes with Mikhl Yashinsky
Q: Will Spitzkopf ever find a second life on stage or screen?
Yes, I'd love to see these stories adapted theatrically or cinematically; the distinctive setting, characters, and a built-in musical component could translate well into live performance or film.
Yiddish Sherlock Holmes with Mikhl Yashinsky
Q: What do you think makes Spitzkopf similar, but different from Sherlock Holmes?
A key similarity is the Watson-like assistant, Hermann Fuchs, and the duo's close bond; what sets Spitzkopf apart is the brisk, 32-page, action-forward storytelling that prioritizes rapid investigation and real-world peril over leisurely deduction.
