Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
SPECIAL RELEASE! In this special edition of The Story Geeks podcast, we bring you to our TIMESLINGERS Launch Party live audience recording!
Daryl Smith and our live audience interview Jay Sherer, the co-writer (with Nathan Scheck) of TIMESLINGERS! They cover why a Writer's Digest judge considered the book "trailblazing," and how the story came about in the first place. Jay also talks about his behind-the-scenes tour of Los Alamos National Laboratories, how to find time to write, how to setup time travel as a gimmick, and then dives into some audience Q&A! The Story Geeks finally get to dig deeper into one of their own stories, TIMESLINGERS!
