Assassin John Milton And Kickass Beatrix Rose Thrillers With Mark Dawson

October 12, 2014 By J.F. Penn

Mark DawsonIt's always great to find books that feature strong female characters, and recently I discovered Beatrix Rose, assassin and seriously kick ass heroine created by author Mark Dawson.

I caught up with Mark outside the Freemasons' Grand Lodge of England in London and asked him a few questions. You can watch the video below or here on YouTube.

We discuss:

  • How Mark got started in writing after being a lawyer in the city
  • The various series that Mark writes: serial killer with Masonic twist; assassin John Milton making amends for the sins he committed in the secret service; Beatrix Rose series – a strong willed character with serious issues, a daughter who she is sword of godtrying to protect.
  • How much of Mark is in his books, and how thrilling is he anyway! How he does his research.
  • Mark is a busy man, but he does read thrillers for pleasure – he enjoys Lee Child, Russell Blake, Barry Eisler – and also reads a lot of non-fiction for research.
  • The themes of family, revenge and settling the score are important for Mark.
  • Mark's latest book is Sword of God in the John Milton series – influenced by Rambo and True Grit. Mark currently works in the film industry so watches a lot of films and medium is important for him.

You can find Mark and his books at MarkJDawson.com and you can start the Beatrix Rose thrillers with In Cold Blood.
