Award-winning Science Fiction and Fantasy author Spencer Sekulin is a busy guy! When he isn't on the road as a paramedic or studying, he is most likely writing. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Spencer fell in love with books at a young age, with authors like Terry Brooks and Eoin Colfer giving him an appetite for speculative fiction. Though he didn't begin writing until university, he quickly discovered it was just as fun as reading. The rest is history. His passions include emergency medicine, voice-overs, homemade coffee, travel obscura, and writing. https://spencersekulin.net/ https://twitter.com/Spencer_Sekulin https://www.facebook.com/SpencerSekulinAuthor https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14230825.Spencer_Sekulin Instagram: spencerzms Want to learn more about your host Kim Lengling? www.kimlenglingauthor.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letfearbouncepodcast/message

Zdravo. Uvodna epizoda 6. sezone je dolga, ker jo je napisal drug avtor, Eoin Colfer. Eion se prebere Owen. Izgovorjava nam še ne uspeva, je pa boljša kot izgovorjava imena Zaphod. Zaphod dvoglavi se sliši bolje kot Zejfod dvoglavi, pa pika. Pred epizodo obdelamo mobilnost, baterije, sončni mrk, Habsburžane, neustavljivi napredek, damo politikom idejo, ki je večja od NEK 2 (učinkovit javni prevoz) in ugotovimo, da v Pidžijevo vas nikoli ne bo pripeljal vlak. PO dolgi pavzi se spomnimo na nedoganljivo Bobovo voljo in še marsikaj. Kar se knjige tiče, preberemo zahvale. Potem nas zmotijo Whitesnake in že debatiramo o potovanjih in stvareh, ki jih ne potrebujemo, ki potujejo do nas. Še na drva in kurilno olje ne pozabimo preden priznamo, da smo tokrat zares pravi kavč komentatorji. Naslednjič naprej.

SPENCER SEKULIN Writers of the Future Winner – Biography   When Spencer Sekulin isn't on the road as a paramedic or studying medicine, he is most likely writing. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Spencer fell in love with books at a young age, with authors like Terry Brooks and Eoin Colfer giving him an appetite for speculative fiction. Though he didn't begin writing until university, he quickly discovered that it was just as fun as reading—and the rest is history. His passions include emergency medicine, homemade coffee, travel obscura, and of course, writing.  Writers of the Future is Spencer's first professional sale. “The Children of Desolation” started as a story title with no story, and sat for several years before he stumbled across it again, whereupon several separate ideas happened to click together. “Sometimes stories take us by surprise, and then drag us on rides we didn't expect. In my case, this one started running right away, leaving me to catch up in its dust.” Most of it was written on a covered porch during a torrential downpour. Regarding the story itself, Spencer felt drawn to its protagonist, Tumelo Laska. His burden of heritage, and his moral struggle between doing what is right and putting family before all else, lends well to the sense of desperation of the post-apocalyptic setting. Though the world may end, humans have always loved, lost, and sought redemption—and always will.  Spencer hopes it is a story that conveys the importance of family, the indomitableness of the human spirit, and power of forgiveness. He hopes you enjoy reading it. For more information, go to spencersekulin.net

Why and how do books make it to the top of the "New York Times" best books of the year list? We have no idea, but we go through the top 10 and give our thoughts as to why these books are so big and what we think about them. We love Jennifer Egan! The rest of these? Well. You'll see. For some of them, we're not sure about the hullabaloo. We also get into why and how we bring books like these into the Shop and how we make our buying decisions. Should we have ordered more of these books? We'll find out. Then we dive into what we're reading — identifying a whole genre we've named "desperately seeking mommy" books — with a rom-com ("The Ex Talk") and some further shots at Stephen King that are probably gratuitous. Note, however, that Chris Colfer did NOT write the Artemis Fowl books — that's Eoin Colfer, who is a different person. Finally, we wrap up with some books about miserable situations you may or may not be into.

It's been a minute since we've had an honest to goodness childhood favorite on this show. You know the kind, the book you're obsessed with for most of your waking life, to the point where it creeps other people out. For me, it's the Trumpet of the Swan. For Vaishnavi Patel, it might just be Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. Along with talking all things middle grade, writing nuanced characters, portraying trauma in a second world fantasy, and so much more, we also talk about Vaishnavi's own writing journey. Her book Kaikeyi is a retelling of the Ramayana with a focus on its most notorious villainess, and we chat about dealing with backlash, the editing and publishing process, how myths vary across time and space, and so much more. There are spoilers for Gregor, and we do focus mostly on Book 1 of the series. Books discussed: Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch.
