20 AGO 2026 · From Dragons to Conspiracies: Jack Adkins on Fantasy, Thrillers & Appalachian Secrets In this episode, I’m joined by author Jack Adkins — an Eastern Kentucky IT professional, lifelong Dungeon Master, and the creative force behind the humorous epic fantasy series The Dragons of Dorwine. Jack’s trilogy follows Anuka Sandbar, a charming half-goblin con artist on a high-stakes search for his missing father in a world where dragons rule as gods and hoard all magic. The books blend sharp humor with deeper themes of faith, power, mercy, and the lasting consequences of hard choices. We also dig into Jack’s shift into grounded Appalachian thrillers with his new Nolan Keller series, starting with The Devil on Klack Mountain — a story that weaves small-town secrets, modern espionage, folklore, and buried science beneath the mountains. Along the way, Jack shares how three decades of tabletop role-playing shaped his storytelling, what it was like landing legendary narrator Michael Kramer as a self-published author, how he balances writing with a full-time hospital job and raising four sons, and the creative leap from dragons to conspiracies. Whether you love epic fantasy, intelligent thrillers, or stories rooted in Appalachian soil, this conversation offers a fascinating look at a writer who refuses easy answers. https://discord.gg/6JKxwNQQJc #JackAdkins #DragonsOfDorwine #EpicFantasy #IndieFantasy #HalfGoblin #FantasyBooks #AuthorInterview

30 LUG 2026 · In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, we sit down with Marty Ogborn, daughter of the late author Bob Liter. After her father’s passing in 2008, Marty took on the mission of preserving and expanding his literary legacy — reissuing his beloved Nick Bancroft mystery series and writing new sequels that continue the story for a new generation. Bob Liter, a U.S. Navy veteran, longtime journalist, and copy editor at the Peoria Journal Star, created the Nick Bancroft Mysteries — a fun, witty, and suspenseful soft-boiled series set in the fictional Central City, Illinois (a town that feels remarkably like Peoria). Nick, a wisecracking freelance reporter and private investigator, was modeled after Bob himself, while his on-again, off-again love interest Maggie Atley was inspired by Marty’s mother, Lillian. Marty shares touching family stories, reveals how rereading her dad’s books gave her new insight into the man behind the stories, and discusses the joys and challenges of stepping into the author role herself. Whether you love classic mysteries, family legacies, or stories about keeping creativity alive across generations, this conversation is full of warmth, wisdom, and Midwestern charm. Discover the Nick Bancroft Mysteries in ebook, paperback, and audiobook formats, and get ready for fresh adventures from the next generation of Bancroft writers.

29 LUG 2026 · In this episode, we sit down with debut author Steve Harthun to discuss his gritty LitRPG progression fantasy series, Ashes of Vaeltharion. Steve introduces us to Burden of Fate, where a washed-up Army Ranger from Kentucky is ripped into a brutal world with nothing but guilt, addiction, and survival instincts. No chosen-one tropes here — just hard-earned power, tactical combat, dark fantasy, and a world where magic has strict rules and weakness gets you killed. We dive into Steve’s journey from IT manager and father of eight to published author, his time on Royal Road, building ruthless progression systems, writing flawed and broken heroes, and the heavy themes of trauma, redemption, and resilience that fuel the series. Whether you’re a fan of Dungeon Crawler Carl, grimdark fantasy, or stories where every level comes at a real cost, this conversation is packed with insight, inspiration, and plenty of world-building details. Tune in for a raw, honest look at what it takes to create a compelling new voice in LitRPG and progression fantasy. Available now on Amazon Kindle Unlimited and Audible.
