He Turned Crime into a Career: Best Selling Author, Michael Connelly

For Episode 20 of PodNumbra, we sit down with bestselling crime novelist Michael Connelly, the creator of Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller, Renée Ballard and countless unforgettable characters. After pursuing building construction at the University of Florida, Mike had an epiphany, he’d rather build stories than houses. From there, his journey to the top of the publishing world was anything but a straight line. Timing, a little luck, great fatherly advice, relentless work ethic, incredible attention to detail and a dogged pursuit of his dream all played a role in getting Mike where he is today. His books have captivated millions and inspired some of the biggest crime stories on screen. But despite all his success, Mike remains focused on his craft. He starts writing in the early Los Angeles morning, often before the city is awake, challenging himself to set the bar higher with every book. A remarkable career. A relentless craftsman. And a story that proves success is earned one page at a time. For more information about Michael Connelly, please visit www.michaelconnelly.com or visit any store/website that sells books.
