322. David Howard From Galaxy Quest Story and Screenplay to Newly Published Author 59:37

for 8 dage siden59:37

59:37

David Howard, renowned for his screenplay of DreamWorks’ Galaxy Quest, brings a wealth of experience from television and live theatre. Interestingly, his spot on the podcast isn’t just due to his film industry credentials. The mix-up between Galaxy Press and Galaxy Quest, a common occurrence at conventions where fans routinely confuse the two, made him an especially relevant guest when the opportunity presented itself at the Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium in Provo, Utah. This interview covers the nuances of scriptwriting—highlighting what works well and what doesn’t. But more to the podcast’s purpose, we discuss the themes and creative process behind David’s delightful young adult fantasy novel, Penumbra.…

321. Jen Finelli The Meaning and Purpose of Suffering in Storytelling 59:50

for 15 dage siden59:50

59:50

Jen Finelli is a physician and injured adventurer. Her real-life adventures have ranged from the funny and silly (like getting herself locked in a German nunnery by accident) to the beautiful (like scuba diving with sharks) to the severe and tragic (like breaking her spirit as she held the dying and watched sexual assault victims suffer without justice). So she often writes fantastical science fiction with a real-life military, medical, or combat edge. When she is not doing that, she plays with trauma and pain and hope. Marie Whittaker, the Exec Dir of Superstars, reached out with what an amazing guest Jen would be. And so, please meet Jen Finelli, who just published her five-book series with WordFire Press. https://byjenfinelli.com/…

316. Z.S. Diamanti Writing Cozy Fantasy to Deal with the Aftermath of War 1:01:02

for 7 weeks siden1:01:02

1:01:02

Z.S. “Zac” Diamanti, per his own bio, went to college forever and has too many pieces of paper on his wall as a result. He is a USAF veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and has worked in ministry for 10 years. Zac came highly recommended by Superstars organizers. And rightly so. The “Guard in the Garden” is a cozy fantasy, a subgenre that has not been addressed before on this podcast. What is fascinating is how he successfully used cozy fantasy to deal with the aftermath of war. And I must say, I have not cried this much over a story for a long time! https://zsdiamanti.com/…
