There's something else that I learned in my research as a writer on bodyguards. When trying to get to know them better, I found out that they're very acquainted with their clients.
Ever wondered what it takes to be a bodyguard and why they often find their way into gripping stories? Carlton Holden, the writer with a knack for weaving intriguing narratives, shares his deep fascination with these protectors in his latest podcast episode. Holden's candid discussion unveils the unique qualities that make bodyguards such compelling characters in his books.
From their martial arts prowess to their unwavering dedication to their clients' safety, these figures bring a mix of action and depth to his storytelling. Holden doesn't just stop at the physical attributes. He dives into the personal bonds that bodyguards form with their clients. Imagine knowing someone's habits so well that you can predict their next move – that's the level of intimacy we're talking about.
Holden illustrates this with anecdotes like Justin Bieber's bodyguard, who knows Bieber's quirks inside out. It's these relationships that add a rich layer of authenticity to Holden's characters. The demand for bodyguards is on the rise, especially in places like China where female bodyguards are making a significant impact. These women undergo intense martial arts training, showcasing a blend of strength and skill that Holden finds particularly fascinating.
This trend reflects a broader societal shift and adds another dimension to the bodyguard narrative. In his book 'Stand Up on a Leash', Holden introduces us to Hal, a bodyguard who protects the protagonist, Wilder Frank. But there's a twist – it's Hal who pulls Wilder into the dangerous world of dogfighting. This irony not only heightens the tension but also underscores the complex nature of bodyguards as both protectors and potential threats. Holden's exploration of bodyguards extends beyond fiction.
He touches on real-world scenarios where bodyguards play crucial roles, such as in illegal dogfighting rings where danger is ever-present. These insights provide a gritty backdrop to his stories, making them all the more captivating. If you're curious about the lives of bodyguards and how they inspire Carlton Holden's literary creations, this episode is a must-listen. Dive into a world where loyalty, danger, and human connection intertwine, offering a fresh perspective on these enigmatic figures.
