In the interview Mark talks with:
Joshua Clark ("Nolan’s Bucket List: Snow
Edition" / Cover Designer)
Josh is a writer, bookseller, graphic designer, and designer of the
cover of Fresh Starts. He graduated with an art degree from
Colorado State University-Pueblo. Josh is an active member of Pikes
Peak Writers, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and was the former
Speakers Coordinator for Pueblo West Writers. His short story, ‘The
Galaxy Got a Whole Lot Bigger,’ received a Silver Honorable Mention
in Q4 of the 2020 Writers of the Future Contest. He is now busy
writing his next novel.
Bowen Gillings ("Dawn Trouble")
Bowen Gillings is an award-winning author whose quirky tales range
from superhero suspense to divine family squabbles. He is a devout
travel enthusiast, committed martial arts dabbler, and closeted RPG
nerd. He enjoys cooking, the outdoors, good whiskey, and good
friends. Born in Wisconsin, he grew up in South Dakota’s Black
Hills, matriculated in Minnesota, and then bounced around Europe
with the Army. He’s lived on both coasts, danced on the Great Wall
of China, and driven a Volvo from Alaska to Louisiana before
settling in Colorado with his wife and daughter.
Terry Odell ("My Name is Marjorie")
Although Terry Odell had no aspirations of becoming a writer until
long after receiving her AARP card, she’s now the author of over
thirty novels, novellas, and short stories. She writes mysteries
and romantic suspense, but calls them all “Mysteries With
Relationships.” Her awards include the Silver Falchion, the
International Digital Awards, and the HOLT Medallion. A Los Angeles
native, she moved to Florida where she spent thirty years in the
heat and humidity. She now enjoys life with her husband and rescue
dog in the cooler, dryer climate of the Colorado Rockies, where she
watches wildlife from her windows.
After the interview, Mark reflects on a few of the things the chat with Joshua, Terry, and Bowen made him think about.
