From UK to Canada: Rio Youers' Unconventional Voice in The Bang Bang Sisters

Hello and welcome to today’s 199th…and BONUS episode of The Thriller Zone, I’m your host David Temple, and I invite you to an engaging conversation with my new friend and outstanding writer, Rio Youers.


Rio and I discuss his latest novel, The Bang Bang Sisters—a non-stop, rock’ n roll vigilante thriller that’s sure to please our hard-core grunge thriller fans.


Today, we discuss Rio's writing journey, influences, and the unique style of his work, which blends elements of rock and roll with thrilling narratives. Our conversation also touches on themes of female empowerment in literature, the challenges of the publishing industry, and valuable advice for aspiring writers. 


Rio shares insights into his creative process and the importance of writing what you love, and making sure you’re writing what you love to read. As we approach 200 episodes, I’m thrilled to welcome Rio into the Thriller Zone fold with this must-listen episode for fans of thrillers and aspiring authors alike.
