DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, this was the best audio I could salvage from my talk with Bryan as there were some sound issues. I decided to publish the conversation because I think it was great and it would be a shame for you not to hear it. It’s listenable, but just wanted to put a disclaimer out because this isn’t the norm. Hope you’ll still give it a chance!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In this episode of Storyline Sessions, the author of SciFi\/Fantasy novel The Forsaken Planet Bryan Wilson talks about how he managed to complete his debut novel after 20 years, his influences, experience with the writing community, the sequel The Son of the Prophets and many more interesting topics.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
