Summary

Today’s guest is screenwriter, producer and author, Terry Hayes.

Terry began his career as an investigative journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald where, as their youngest foreign correspondent in the U.S., he covered major stories including Watergate and President Nixon’s resignation.

After meeting George Miller, the director of 1979’s Mad Max, he wrote the film’s novelization and then transitioned to screenwriting, co-writing The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. He then wrote the screenplay for 1989’s Dead Calm (Nicole Kidman). He went on to write for many films including Cliffhanger (Sylvester Stallone), Payback (Mel Gibson), From Hell (Johnny Depp) and Reign of Fire (Matthew McConaughey).

His debut novel, I am Pilgrim, was published in 2014 and was an instant international thriller sensation. Now, ten years later, Terry brings us his much anticipated second novel, The Year of the Locust.

Join Jack and Terry as they discuss Terry’s family’s service in both World Wars and his experiences as a Hollywood screenwriter and international bestselling thriller author.

Terry is the author of the New York Times bestselling book I am Pilgrim. His latest novel, The Year of the Locust, is available now.
