But as I wrote, the emotional tension between mother and son began to surface. When that conflict started to drive the narrative, I realized [the son] had to become the sole protagonist."

Author Drew Banks' Behind the Story reflects on his mystery series rooted in family drama. https://t.co/vp7Wp0gg0f
