Linwood Barclay: Find You First

Linwood Barclay, the New York Times bestselling thriller author of over 20 novels, joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss his latest thriller, FIND YOU FIRST.

In FIND YOU FIRST, Miles Cookson is a tech millionaire who has all the money he could ask for but is running out of time. He's been diagnosed with a terminal illness and hopes to spend the last bit of his short life finding anyone he might have passed it on to. As a sperm donor, he knows he has multiple unknown kids, and he's got to find them and share the truth before time runs out. On his journey, he realizes that his possible descendants are vanishing one by one.

Linwood talks about what drew him to write about DNA testing, as well as his character, Jeremy Pritkin. They also discuss his writing process – and what’s next. Carol and Linwood are old friends, and they roll on to to discuss what they have binge watched and loved -- and how Linwood has not been able to get a haircut since November 28th due to Covid-restrictions in Toronto.

What's hilarious is, I was under the impression Linwood Barclay was the actor who played the role of Mary Ingall's husband, on Little House on the Prairie, who turned to writing later on. So I read one of his books and thought wow, that guys a really good writer! But, blush, nope, that actor is Linwood Boomer. Well, I was close, right? Thank goodness Mr. Barclay is Canadian and only a few miles down the road from me. As I'm a new fan to Mr. Barclay's books, I've a lot to catch up on and am happily anticipating many enjoyable reading hours. Thanks!
