If I had to name one thing that I love most about Crime by the Book, it’s how this passion project of mine has opened my eyes to all different subgenres and styles of crime fiction. My horizons have been expanded time and time again—but if I had to name one subgenre of crime fiction I’m still looking to learn more about, it would be the subgenre of outdoor thrillers. Thankfully, Summer 2018 has brought with it two examples of the subgenre that have totally piqued my interest! BEARSKIN by James McLaughlin (on sale now) and STAY HIDDEN by Paul Doiron (on sale July 3rd) are buzzworthy for all the best reasons: gorgeous covers, fresh plots, and authors who bring unique backgrounds to their crime writing. I was thrilled to have the chance to ask a few of my most pressing questions of both authors! Read on for a conversation on outdoor thrillers with James McLaughlin and Paul Doiron - and for details on their newest releases!
