Wired For Books home Don Swaim Interviews Audio Interviews with Dick Francis Dick Francis talks with Don Swaim in his 1983 interview about Francis' writing, and its association with his love of horses. Francis has made a career out of his love for horses, and has written many books based on a horse racing. His novels include: Decider, Driving Force, Hot Money, Break In, Bonecrack, Whip Hand and many others. Listen to the Dick Francis interview with Don Swaim, 1983 (20 min. 31 sec.) Dick Francis is on a book tour, and stops by to discusses his books The Danger The Banker and Proof in this 1984 interview with Don Swaim. Francis tells Don how he started writing novels after his successful jockey and journalist careers. Listen to the Dick Francis interview with Don Swaim, 1984 (32 min. 34 sec.) Francis discusses the differences between his two books Money and Proof in this 1985 interview. Proof is a well-structured book with a defined beginning, middle, and end while Money is a chain of consciousness without a specific plot. He uses,as several mystery authors do, several red herrings to keep the reader guessing at all times. Swaim and Francis also discuss the different liquor licenses in the United States and England.

Francis Richard "Dick" Scobee Lieutenant Colonel, United States Air Force A Vietnam War fighter pilot who joined the U.S. Astronaut Corps, he was the Shuttle Challenger Commander. He entered Astronaut training in 1977 and was second in command of the Challenger on a successful mission in April 1984. He died on January 28, 1986 when Challenger exploded 73.5 seconds after launch from Cape Kennedy, Florida. A Presidential Commission determined that an o-ring in the right booster rocket failed to contain the pressure of hot gasses produced by the burning rocket fuel, causing the tank to tear away from the booster's wall, thus rupturing the fuel tank and causing a massive explosion. He was buried in Section 46 in Arlington National Cemetery on what would have been his 47th birthday. His grave is marked with a regulation headstone which bears the United States Air Force Astronaut Insignia. His grave is directly across from the Tomb of the Unknowns and the Memorial Amphitheater, and just a short distance from that of Captain Michael John Smith of the Challenger in Section 7-A.

Recommended Fiction Banker by Dick Francis Banker by Dick Francis Less Whodunnit than Francis' Version of Camelot? Colin Harvey Sep 16, 2007 The comments in Jessica Mann's introduction to Margery Allingham's Traitor's Purse could be applied equally to Dick Francis' fine if flawed 1982 novel, Banker. To paraphrase the crime writer, critic and broadcaster Jessica Mann in her introduction to Margery Allingham Fast-forward some sixty or seventy years, and the same sentiments could be applied to It is this sense of an ever-widening chasm over even recent history that it is only one of the things that makes Banker so fascinating. Equally inevitably, the narrator slowly begins to realize that dark deeds are being done, and stumbles into a denouement. That he is painfully slow to realize that devilry is afoot, and the villain and even motive are fairly obvious, is almost irrelevant. The whodunit aspect is the least interesting part of Banker. The novel is episodic, written in three blocks, each representing a calendar year. The blocks then split down into four or five chapters, each signifying a month within that year. This structure is one of the reasons that Banker is such a slow-burning novel.
