Just moments after posting yesterday’s Face Out for Roger Hobbs’ debut heist thriller Ghostman we stumbled upon this same-day interview with the young Portland author—and we mean young—at The Wall Street Journal‘s Speakeasy blog. They rang Hobbs up to find out just how the 24-year-old pulled off such a major league job with his first book. The trick has a lot to do with Hobbs’ retro/new tech vibe, or as he
describes it, “analog players in a digital world.” The formula worked for Ghostman, and Hobbs is already at work on what we can all hope is another big score, the tentatively titled Vanishing Games.
