Shawn Smucker is the award-winning author of Light from Distant Stars, the young adult novels The Day the Angels Fell and The Edge of Over There, and the memoir Once We Were Strangers. He lives with his wife and six children in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. You can find him online at www.shawnsmucker.com. His latest novel, which comes out today, is entitled These Nameless Things Description: Before Dan opened his door to find a wounded woman who had escaped from the tormentors in the mountain, his life had become rather quiet. He and the eight other people in the mostly abandoned town had become friends. They spent peaceful evenings around the campfire and even made vague plans to journey east one day and leave the ominous mountain behind. But the woman's arrival changes everything. Who is she? How does she know so much about Dan's brother, who is still held captive in the mountain? Why are long-forgotten memories rising to the surface? And why does Dan feel so compelled to keep her presence in his house a secret?

Today I'm talking with novelist Shawn Smucker in our series "lighten up about pop culture," about the books that have shaped us and what's influencing us now. He shares some of his favorite books and authors and what music he listens to while writing, and you guys I got a total scoop. Shawn revealed the title of his next book and what it's about, for the first time ever, to me on this very podcast. However, an addendum to that: I'm going to pull back the curtain on this here podcastery a bit and tell you that because of scheduling wonkiness with some of the guests for this series, Shawn and I recorded this approximately 47 years ago but I'm just now releasing it. Which is why I would never make a good reporter, on account of my lack of timeliness. Hey guys I got a big scoop for you that I kept to myself! The good news is his next book comes out in June and is available for preorder, so go check it out, but first, listen in and lighten up!

Today my conversation is with master storyteller Shawn Smucker. Shawn’s unique voice as he shares about the writing life AND the beautiful stories he writes are truly captivating and leads the reader to ask questions in their imagination as well as in their hearts. His most recent release from 2019, Light From Distant Stars weaves a tale that presses the reader to the edge of reality, but also carries a banner of hope and reconciliation.  I’m so grateful for the podcast for a lot of reasons, but getting to talk with people like Shawn has brought such depth to my faith, my imagination, and most definitely my bookshelf. I’m so grateful that artists like Shawn exist and are sharing their God given talents with the likes of us. I hope if you are an artist, particularly a writer, that you feel encouraged and maybe even inspired by what Shawn shares in this episode. Since we recorded our conversation, Shawn also launched a podcast, “The Stories Between Us.” that he and his wife host together, and it is another source I can’t say enough good things about. They talk about what its like for them to raise their six children, both work as writers, and how they walk through the hard questions.Shawn also has a new book that he mentioned a little about coming out in 2020 called These Nameless Things. The cover art and small synopsis for it was just recently released and it is beautiful and super intriguing! It comes out in June and you can actually pre-order it on amazon and other resellers now.

Shawn and Maile share the story of how they met, and how during that time they read Annie Dillard's The Writing Life. They discuss the importance of being willing to edit out even the parts of our writing we love, when necessary. What role does trust play in working with an editor? And, finally, writing can put us in situations that make us feel like we're being pulled away, but in the end it's the work of writing that brings us home.

Los Angeles, November 2019. Blade Runner's future is now ours. Ridley Scott's 1982 classic future film of replicants escaping to a retrofitted Earth and meeting their end at the hands of the washed out, titular Blade Runner, Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, is adapted from Philip K. Dick's equally classic 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Both film and book are meditations on what it is to be human but we have been looking through the eyes of the film ever since it plunged us into its acid rain, neon coated, West Coast nightmare of flaming night skies, commercial ziggurats, flying cars and fake animals. Now its future is our present. We live in a world of mass species die off, environmental crisis, rapidly developing A.I., all powerful corporations and extreme divides between rich and poor. Film and book have bled into our culture in many different ways and in this series of the Essay, we mark the year of Blade Runner, in the month of Blade Runner. The legendary writer on film, David Thomson, takes a long hard look back at Ridley Scott's rain soaked mash up of existential noir and artificial souls. "Maybe you've never seen Blade Runner – but you think you have. It's one of those films in our dreams and feeble memory. I used to think it was what it claimed to be, the story of a sour bounty hunter charged to eliminate or retire some dangerous escapees from the old scheme of how the universe was run. " Producer: Mark Burman

Shawn Smucker is an author who hails from Lancaster, PA. He began his writing career with ghost writing and co-writing for others. His first book he co-wrote was for his aunt, to tell her story of founding Auntie Anne's soft pretzels. Eventually he felt encouraged to write his own novels as well and he released the first one, The Day the Angels Fell in 2014. A couple of books came after that and Shawn just released his latest novel, Light From Distant Stars. It tells the story of a boy grown up to be a man who suddenly loses his father which bring back his memories of childhood. The book causes you to wonder how accurate your memory of reality truly is.  It is now available for ordering, visit:  http://shawnsmucker.com/my-books/ For bonus content with Shawn, visit: https://www.patreon.com/artandfaithpodcast    

Sometimes when we’re in the thralls of our normal routines, our roles in our families and in our neighborhoods, it’s hard to stop and pay attention. Shawn Smucker, author, husband, and busy father to 6, talks with us about what it looks like to choose presence from cross-cultural friendships with a refugee and with his own family.  Here’s a bit more about Shawn: He lives in Lancaster, PA with his wife, Maile, and his 6 children. He’s the author of The Day the Angels Fell, The Edge of Over There, Once We were Strangers, and the forthcoming novel, Light from Distant Stars. Be sure to preorder his latest release before July 16 for a free peek into the life and journal of a novelist.  You’ll want to listen in for wisdom about parenting, about how to navigate cross-cultural friendships and be present to your actual neighbors. But you’ll also want to stick around to hear his laundry routine for a family of 8, how his wife Maile and he aren’t just sliding into established roles in their writing and parenting lives together, and how you can take one small step of presence in a culture that idolizes hurry and busyness.  LINKS: Link to purchase The Day the Angels Fell: https://amzn.to/2X7B2oL Link to purchase The Edge of Over There: https://amzn.to/2RwDsr3 Link to purchase Once We Were Strangers:  https://amzn.to/2X2iIgR Link to pre-order Light from Distant Stars: https://amzn.to/2X6MBws More about Shawn, his work, and his writing services: http://shawnsmucker.com SHARE: Listen to @ShawnSmucker discuss his friendship with a Syrian refugee and what it taught him about a “drop in” friendship in a culture of busyness on the #FindingHolyPodcast with @aahales Curious about how to navigate a meaningful life in the midst of marriage and family life?

At a writing conference held October 12 and 13, 2018, I interviewed three authors who served on the speaking team. We discussed all things writing, like their writing challenges, their writing process, and their advice for writers. All for you! I'm going to share these conversations with you, mixing them in with my standard short solo episodes; in other words, you won't be getting all three interviews in a row. But you'll know an interview from a solo show because I'll include “interview” in the subject line—that way you can set aside a longer chunk of time to listen. Today, I bring you the first of the three: a conversation with Shawn Smucker. We discussed his work as a cowriter, ghostwriter, and novelist, and our discussion took place just before release day for his nonfiction book Once We Were Strangers. Shawn Smucker is the author of the novels Light from Distant Stars, The Day the Angels Fell and The Edge of Over There, as well as the memoir, Once We Were Strangers. He lives with his wife and six children in the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. You can find him online at www.shawnsmucker.com.

This is the story about a business card. For years, Lisa-Jo and Christie defined their significance according to the business cards in their pockets. They knew just what they wanted those cards to say, and exactly what they never wanted to see printed there. But their job titles along with their professional and personal roles have changed significantly over the years, and navigating those transitions has led them to the same realization: our significance is determined by God alone. No matter what our business cards do or do not say, God names each of us "Beloved." Join the conversation! Share a photo of your new business card with us!
