His two careers, novelist and TV writer, merged when he wrote the eight books in the Diagnosis Murder series of original novels, based on the hit CBS TV mystery that he also wrote and produced. He followed that up by writing fifteen bestselling novels based on Monk, another TV show that he worked on.

TCR Episode #43 | Joseph Reid - DEPARTURE

On this episode, the Crew goes behind the scenes with Joseph Reid. The son of a Navy helicopter pilot, Joseph Reid’s number of moves kept up with his age throughout most of his childhood. Upon receiving a book about sharks as a going-away present from his kindergarten classmates, he was bitten by a passion that would last the rest of his life. Through the remainder of elementary school, high school at Phillips Exeter Academy, and even in college at Duke University, he was determined to become a marine biologist.
Discovering the extremely low ratio of boat time to grant writing time in graduate school, however, he decided to cut bait and swim with a different kind of “shark.” After graduating from Notre Dame Law School, he became a patent litigator, and since then he has represented clients ranging from individual inventors to Fortune 50 companies in lawsuits valued in the millions—sometimes billions—of dollars.
He’s also spent an awful lot of time on airplanes and in airports. These travel experiences spawn the backdrops for his novels, which he writes each morning before dawn breaks and the real world intrudes.

TCR Episode #38 | David Ricciardi - BLACK FLAG

On this episode, the CREW goes behind the scenes with author David Ricciardi. David is an American author and an outdoorsman who made his debut with the novel Warning Light. He’s lived quite a life of adventure and has used much of those adventures in his first novel.
When you describe Ricciardi as an outdoorsman, you’re not saying that he likes to camp. Ricciardi is so much more than that. He’s backpacked his way through the mountains of Alaska and the western United States, baring the elements along the way. He’s also received training from law-enforcement and US special ops. He is an avid sailor and once woke up for his shift aboard a sailboat to find that the ship way heading the wrong way through the Atlantic Ocean sea lines with a crew member suffering from hypothermia. He made it out of that one alive, and is now a writer as well as a certified scuba rescue diver.
