Story Impact Podcast - Jeff Circle

Join bestselling crime novelist and podcast host Lisa Towles as she sits down with editor & author Jeff Circle, creator and visionary of the Writer's Dossier Podcast, to explore what drives modern thriller writing — and how moral ambiguity turns good stories into unforgettable ones.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• How Jeff curated and edited the new anthology Myopic Duplicity: Do the Ends Ever Justify the Means? And what makes it unique in the thriller world
• Why authors should strive to make readers like the “bad guy” — and how that shift in perspective changes everything
• Jeff’s personal tips for staying productive amid multiple writing, editing, and podcasting commitments (including why he prioritizes sleep!)
• What writers frequently get wrong when depicting law enforcement, military, or intelligence work — so you can avoid the mistakes

Whether you’re an aspiring author, a seasoned pro, or simply love behind-the-scenes of thriller-craft, this conversation is packed with actionable insights, relatable stories, and the spark that might just ignite your next idea.
