How do you create compelling and memorable characters? Our guest this week on The Hobcast Book Show is Mark Boutros, an award-winning screenwriter and novellist, and the author of The Craft of Character. Why is 'why' the question you need to keep asking yourself when you write? We have ten copies of the ebook, and ten of the audiobook (narrated by Adrian himself), to give away. Just email us at hobeckbooks@gmail.com with the answer to this question: what is Mark's favourite bird? Also, in the week we are named one of the Best 20 UK Thriller Podcasts, we welcome new Hobeck authors Olly Jarvis and Lin Le Versha to the company, and we discuss the scandal engulfing the BBC following the revelations about how their Princess Diana in 1995 was secured.
