Hybrid is an attention grabber from the first page; be prepared for a great one sit read.” ~ D.F. Levesque, Amazon Review
The Book Buzz segment today features Hybrid by Greg Ballan. The reviews for Hybrid has been outstanding resulting in an excellent rating of 4.4 stars on 48 reviews. How do you describe Ballan’s Hybrid? By taking a quoting a reviewer – “This book is a sci-fi fanatics/Super hero lovers dream! It goes from advanced beings from another planet to soldiers with M-16s and a down on his luck PI,this story is woven into an outstanding read. It had futuristic wars between aliens, beat them up fist-a-cuffs where human vs. Alien vs. Hybrid and of course a human interest plot on modern family dynamics.” The good news? It has a sequel that “is even better”.

Book Description: ERIK KNIGHT, a small time private investigator, always knew he was different from everybody else. Keener senses, heightened awareness and an enhanced physical strength that could be called upon by his sheer will. Erik becomes involved with a team of high profile investigators and local police trying to locate a girl who was kidnapped in the middle of a playground amongst dozens of adults and children. None of the adults saw anything and what the children claim to have seen is too far fetched to be believed. The search evolves into a full-scale manhunt into the dark and desolate woodlands of the Hopedale Mountain. After a lethal encounter and a fatality, Erik, the investigators and police realize that what they’re dealing with isn’t a man and possibly isn’t of this world. What they’re dealing with is a sentient evil that has an appetite for young children..… Read more on Amazon.
About the Author: Greg Ballan is a graduate of Northeastern University holding Bachelor’s degrees in Marketing and Management. He lives in Hopedale with his patient, tolerant and sometimes bewildered wife, Teresa and his three children; Tom, Rachel and Christie. Greg enjoys several outdoor activities such as hiking, archery and shooting. When he’s not working his full time job as a Financial Analyst or getting lost in some unknown woodlands, he’s crunched over his laptop putting his warped imagination into words or penning a column about politics, hunting humor or his latest tale about avoiding house work and yard work.

Author Interview #182: Brothers and Bones by James Hankins


Before we turn to our interview with James, here’s a description of Brothers and Bones (4.3 stars, 324 reviews): Charlie Beckham, a rising star among federal prosecutors, feels his world turn upside down when a deranged homeless man calls him by a secret nickname known by only one other person in the world—Charlie’s brother Jake, who went missing thirteen years ago. Charlie has a hundred questions but the homeless man disappears before Charlie can ask a single one.
So begins Charlie’s search for answers, and for his brother, a search that leads him down Boston’s darkest streets, into its blackest alleys, and, finally, into its criminal underworld. But if Charlie wants answers he’ll have to get them from some of the most feared and ruthless people in the city.

Interview with James Hankins:

1. Why did you choose to write Brothers and Bones over other stories you may have conceived?
It wouldn’t go away. That’s how I decide which of my stories to write. Ideas come to me all the time and the most persistent ones—the squeakiest wheels—become books. Those are the ones that I can’t shake, the ones that keep running through my mind when I’m behind the wheel, in the shower, while I’m trying to fall asleep at night. If there’s something in my mind that keeps pushing it into the spotlight, I pay attention to that.
For Brothers and Bones, it started when I used to see the same homeless man every day, near the same street corner, and he was always talking to himself as though he were arguing with someone only he could see. He’d be very focused on whatever he was saying and to whomever he imagined he was saying it. One day I wondered how strange it would be if, as I passed, he interrupted himself, looked up at me, and said—very clearly and lucidly—“Hi, James,” before resuming his argument with himself. It was an odd thought that I couldn’t get out of my head. Then I thought it would be even stranger if what he called me was something secret, something he simply shouldn’t know. What would that be? How could he know it? These questions led to more until it was a mystery I wanted to solve.
2. You used to write screenplays and later you practiced law. Now you’re an author. Does your experience in these different occupations help your writing?
One of my main goals as a writer of thrillers is to write in a way that makes my readers want to keep turning pages rather than to put my books down. To the extent that I’m successful in that regard, I have to believe that my filmmaking/screenwriting education and experience at NYU film school and in L.A.—experience that helped me learn to tell stories “cinematically”—have helped me a great deal.
As for my work as a lawyer, that’s an easy one. The protagonist of Brothers and Bones is a lawyer. It felt natural to draw on my experience for a book. Of course, Charlie Beckham is a federal prosecutor while I was an employment lawyer—and those are two very different animals—but I knew what it was like to be a lawyer in Boston. I’ve been to the federal courthouse where Charlie works. I might have chosen to make Charlie a lawyer even if I hadn’t been one myself, but I’m certain that writing him was a little easier because I had been.
