Join Stephen Schneider is he finds and talks to authors. You may not know, but authors that have gotten their book on the author career path here, what they've done to get there and where they want to go. Now, settle back. It's time for a bit of inspiration and advice. Come listen to today's discovered wordsmith.
[00:00:44] Stephen: So today discovered word Smiths. I've got Jim Irving with me and I'm very excited about this because Jim is the first person I've interviewed for the second. It's been about a year since we talked. And it sounds like a whole lot has happened with you. So [00:01:00] real briefly you were living in Ireland.
If I remember right. And now you're in Spain. So tell us what's going on with you a little bit. There I'm one of those lucky people let's go to a certain age. We live in Northern Ireland and right in the middle of some beautiful country. Six years ago, we decided we wanted to have a bolthole somewhere to go.
That would be easy to get to. We're not that far from an airport. So we chose Spain in case some Russian mafia is coming after you or something. Yeah. Which is very late. Yeah. So you're reading the wrong books. So we've got a place here. We've had it for five years, but of course, with cool.
[00:01:40] Jim: We hadn't seen the inside of it for over a year, so it was locked up. So we got here two days ago. There was a lot of dust. But now we're back and functioning and touch the technology seems to be working. Yeah so we just moved back and forth between the two and I work between the two as well.
[00:01:58] Stephen: Nice, good. I'm [00:02:00] not as lucky to have two houses and especially not lucky to have houses between different countries. What's that going between different cultures and, just changing your life like that. Every now I have to get slightly political, of course, because two things have happened.
[00:02:15] Jim: First of all, we would come, we would move location every six or eight. Flights for low cost walk on, walk off apart from security, of course.
