As the founder of the first--and only, to the best of our knowledge--conference for writers of faith with a sci-fi and fantasy bent, one may think Rebecca "Becky" Minor might be a bit too busy to sit down with us lowly podcasters. However, Becky is a wonderful person to chat with, and we're delighted that she took time out of her schedule to have a lively discussion with us this week!
Writing as Rebecca P. Minor, Becky authors the Windrider Saga (the only one out right now is Divine Summons), which I am definitely going to have to put on my TBR pile...err, mountain...err, okay, well it's a library at this stage. The description of her protagonist alone is enough to make someone say, "Uh, yeah, I need to read that!"
In Episode 15, you'll learn the following:
How Becky's interesting history informs her writing. What drives Becky crazy in other author's books? Some of her favorite authors--there's a few names on the list who are familiar, and some others who may not be. How her art--and she is an amazing artist!--informs her writing. AMA-ZOMBIES! Plus a lot more, including her plans to do something special with her existing books...
