Podcast appearances and mentions of peter j wacks

Starting at age four, Peter showed advanced aptitudes for chess, the violin, Judo, and was cast in background and minor roles in several movies. For his own enjoyment, he began writing his first short stories. Peter was never just a writer. He also delighted in role playing games, video games, and collectible card games. He competed in numerous Magic the Gathering tournaments through 1995, always finishing in the top three with his own idiosyncratic deck builds. On Puzzle Pirates, an early massively multiplayer online game, his zanered character drove legendary exploits, including a player driven effort to work with the game staff to redesign part of the game (the Cnossos Restoration Project.)  His recent history includes rebuilding and rebranding Wordfire Press from a small independent press with only seventeen books in print to one of Publisher's Weekly top 50 science fiction presses globally. He also retooled the marketing strategy for the Writers of the Future Awards anthology in its 31st year, shepherding the series into its first year earning the title national bestseller (Volume 31).  Peter continues to write novels, graphic novels, and short stories, including a recent alternate history fantasy novel release published by Baen: Caller of Lightning. Right now he is restoring a 1964 Corvette Stingray, working on 5 new novels, producing his first album, and building 2 new games. His primary focus is on the launch of the world's first player driven hybrid NFT/Physical Trading Card Game. peterjwacks.net @peterjwacks everywhere! ***Head on over to Creatrix Compass and explore our many offerings from free inspiration to get your creative juices flowing to creativity classes to creativity coaching and life coaching for creatives.  It can all be found at: https://www.creatrixcompass.com Your donation helps us continue to spread creativity throughout the land.  Thank you! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=2PM3V82XDS7GA  Music: Good Friends Inc by Jonathan Boyle 

What do Indiana Jones, Winston Churchill, Al Capone, and a cat toy have in common? Previously the answer was, "nothing," but listen to this week's episode and you'll see how we manage to tie them all together. Joining us is special guest Peter J. Wacks, who brings more Hollywood experience than any of us can claim, as well as a few good puns.References and TranscriptSubscribe to the show:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsStitcherRSSConnect with us:TwitterFacebookInstagramRedditDiscord

Peter J. Wacks and Eytan Kollin on Caller of Lightning. This is the third entry in the Arcane America series. It's a flintlock fantasy/alternate history featuring Benjamin Franklin in a magically charged America and Europe. In Caller of Lightning, Ben Franklin discovers an inherent magic within himself connected to the key he electrified in his kite experiment. The novel then details Franklin's coming into his own as a wizard of power, working for the incipient America coming into being; and David Weber's Uncompromising Honor, Part 18.

  Chatting with Sherri welcomes authors Peter J. Wacks and Eytan Kollin! Peter J. Wacks, born as Jebediah Jason Zarathustra Janney Shults, was quickly reminted to a sane name yet never really recovered a sense of normalcy in his life.  Peter (or Zarth, whatever, it's cool) has traveled to 37 countries, hitchhiked across the United States (very funny, no, he didn't hitchhike to Hawaii), and backpacked across Europe.  Eytan Kollin lives in Pasadena, California. With Dani Kollin, he is author of books including The Unincorporated Man, The Unincorporated War, and The Unincorporated Woman. Caller of Lightning (Arcane America #3) When Halley’s Comet blazed across the sky in 1759, onlookers saw a sight far more spectacular—and disastrous—than they ever could have imagined. Destroyed in a magical battle, the comet is rent in two and appears to strike Earth. The event is known as The Sundering, the moment in which the Old World is separated from the New, perhaps permanently isolating the Americas.  The New World is now far stranger than before, and the Europeans, Africans, and Indigenous peoples on the American continent must forge new bonds if they are to survive. So, when magic returns to the world of the 1700s, who does the world turn to for help? None other than the father of electricity himself: Benjamin Franklin! But Franklin is in for a shock if he thinks his knowledge of science will prepare him for the world of magic.

It is quite interesting how many people in the games industry have gone to do other things in unsuspected fields. That’s what happened to my guest in this episode of the podcast. He went onto becoming a creative consultant for the series Alias, published more novels I can remember, worked on graphic novels… And he comes with some gaming pedigree too: The CCG Cyberpunk released in 2003 was his design too. And we know that designing a CCG is *far* from easy. Now he’s doing more things. Interesting things, like working with Gunmetal Games in the fantastic Interface Zero 2.0. That’s not the only thing, though… And we find out what else in this interview. Hope you enjoy the show!
