INTERVIEW: Richard Doetsch, novelist, THE 13th HOUR

In The 13th Hour, novelist Richard Doetsch turns time upside-down and gives it a spin!

“One simple selfish act can reverberate through time, through life, robbing a stranger of his existence. A loved one could meet her death from the repercussions of a moment or an event she may never know or understand. Yet if this one moment didn’t occur, if it could be found, could be taken back, the lives it touched could be changed, could be altered, and that one life saved.”

This is the quandary 32-year-old Nicholas Quinn faces in bestselling author Richard Doetsch’s utterly original, utterly ingenious new thriller, The 13TH Hour.

Doetsch swiftly garnered a reputation as a gifted writer with the publication of his debut, The Thieves of HeavenThe Thieves of Faith (2007). He is renowned for his fast-paced narrative, great characters, and tantalizing plots, and his novels vividly reflect his sense of adventure. This is because while many authors choose to write about thrills, Richard Doetsch has actually lived his life experiencing them.

Hollywood certainly agrees. The 13TH Hour was snapped up by New Line Cinema in a heated auction between several major studios and is in active production, with Michael De Luca producing and Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (“Wanted” / “3:10 to Yuma”) as screenwriters. Doetsch’s first novel, The Thieves of Heaven, is also being developed by 20th Century Fox.
