It takes a particularly creative and fertile kind of mind to write good fantasy fiction. Seymour Jacklin has an intriguing process for capturing the engaging stories he writes and presents in his podcast Stories from the Borders of Sleep.
Seymour was born in Zimbabwe and enjoyed an African childhood, surrounded by a landscape that continues to haunt his waking and sleeping imagination.
Since arriving there as a student in 1996 to read Anthropology (he wanted to study Folklore, and it was the nearest he could get). He subsequently trained as a psychiatric nurse. The most consistent threads, throughout his life, he says, have been "an awareness of Divine reality, a passion for the written and spoken word, and an over-active imagination".
Having started the podcast as an outlet for his writing, and was soon surprised to discover that, as the listenership grew and he got feedback "it was clearly becoming a total magnet for insomniacs". He explains what he attributes this to, and how his stories are reaching a highly appreciative audience.
