Totally Booked with Zibby

Josh Plasse, DUST: A Novel


Listen Later

Zibby chats with Hollywood actor, producer, and debut novelist Josh Plasse about DUST, the first installment of his propulsive, action-packed fantasy saga. Josh shares how this book came to be, touching on how childhood memories—like collecting sea glass with his mother—inspired the magical elements of his world. He delves into the meticulous process of crafting DUST, from structuring it like a screenplay to developing his three main characters, each grappling with morality, power, and identity. He also talks about his love of fantasy, the unexpected connection that helped him break into publishing, the humbling editing process, and the pressures of comparing his work to others.
