In 1989, everyman “Dismas Hardy” debuted in John Lescroart's mystery, “Dead Irish”. It's a story millions of readers have enjoyed, along with other entries in the New York Times—bestselling series. But a tale they may not know is how Lescroat invented the ex-Marine, ex-cop, and ex-lawyer turned sleuth. In this brief autobiographical essay, Lescroart details the development of Dismas Hardy, as well as his own career. He discusses his attempt to be a "serious" novelist, his stint as the lead singer of a band, and his struggle to get published. He also talks about how he realized he was meant to be a writer (and not working a "regular" nine-to-five) and how Dismas's adventures almost didn't become the series readers love.
