What does it take to help channel one of the most
singular voices in rap in an entirely new medium?
Join us as we chat with novelist and screenwriter Aaron Philip
Clark, co-author of the just-published thriller The
Accomplice, written in collaboration with rapper and
entertainment mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
Aaron is perhaps best known for his International
Thriller Writers Award-nominated crime fiction series featuring
Detective Trevor Finnegan (Blue Like Me, Under
Color of Law), as well as for his standalone
novels.
His first book with 50 Cent introduces readers to
Nia Adams, a New York-born, Texas-bred detective who always dreamed
of becoming a Texas Ranger, who sets off on the tail of a hardened
Vietnam vet bad guy who steals the secrets of the rich and
powerful.
In addition to writing fiction and screenplays, Aaron teaches
creative writing at UCLA Extension, and he collaborates with a
variety of public figures and luminaries.
Everybody's got a story to tell. Sometimes they need a little bit of help. Veteran ghostwriter Daniel Paisner talks shop with his fellow collaborators and shines a light on what it means to pursue a writing life on the back of someone else’s story.
