Q&A with Ed & Gary
What was the primary motivation for writing a thriller before you met Gary Grossman?
(Ed Fuller) Growing up, I loved the James Bond books and movies. The adventure and the characters were exciting. Then, over my 40 years with Marriott, I experienced a number of global crises situations that felt like they could have even come from Bond. Along the way – a long way – 22 years as President of International for Marriott, I learned through kidnappings, evacuations, dealing with drug cartels, and foreign governments that crisis management was absolutely critical. Since retiring from Marriott I decided to combine my realities with my early fantasies. RED HOTEL was born.
