My most popular and longest-running thriller novel series has been my Dan Kotler Archaeological Thrillers, which deal with threats emerging from ancient history to muck up the works in the modern world. So this new release from George K. Mehok, “Going Dark,” is my kind of novel. In this episode, we talk about the book and the real-world history and technology it explores.

I’ve read and studied a lot of both Greek philosophy and guides for writers. And in the Venn diagram of those two things, they overlap in a big way with Aristotle’s “Poetica.” So when Douglas Vigliotti approached me to talk about his book, “Aristotle for Authors,” I couldn’t wait to have the conversation. I think you’ll find this one hugely interesting and helpful, too.

Things are changing, for sure. Changing back, actually. Just visit Target or Walmart, and it’s like 1994 in there. Vinyl records and CDs, Polaroid and disposable film cameras… it’s like slipping backward in time. But I think it has more to do with a trend toward wanting more tangle experiences. We all want to own things again, and virtual just isn’t cutting it. So how does this loop back to being a creative and making a living? I’m not giving you the answer for free, go tune in to the episode. Sheesh.

Sometimes I get to interview someone that I just click with, and this was definitely one of those times. Thriller author Taylor Moore lives in the Texas Panhandle, and draws on his experiences there as well as his background as a former CIA agent to craft stories that will keep you turning pages long after you should have gone to bed. I loved this chat with Taylor, and I look forward to many more in the future.

Small victories… sometimes they’re the only victories we get. So we should learn how to take every little victory and milk it for all the momentum we can get out of it. In this episode I talk about using tools like journaling, branding, AI, and just the act of opening a word processor to give you the leg up you need to write or do other creative work.

I’ve co-authored a book or two in my career, but now that I’m partnering with J.D. Barker on one, it’s an eye opening experience. Luckily, I have plenty of opportunity to get a sneak peek into the process as JD and our podcast co-host Christine Daigle are set to release their first co-authored book in November. And following on that, the two of them are writing a sequel to the 1990s film “Flatliners.” We talk about all of this in this special ANNIVERSARY episode of the Wordslinger Podcast.

This didn’t start out as an “AI” episode, but it kind of veered that way. Here I’m talking about ways I use AI to help (not DO) my writing, and ways I think it can be beneficial to other writers and creatives. I also talk about what I call the “Artisan Age,” and the emphasis of quality over quantity. Perspective and experience are the new commodities.
