So I'm Writing a Novel...
The show where you join me, Oliver Brackenbury, on the journey of writing my next novel, from first ideas all the way to publication & promotion. In this unique, one-man-reality show I'll share you with you my ever evolving thoughts and feelings on how I write, being a writer, and everything that entails at each stage of the process. I'll also answer listener questions and, sometimes, interview people who write fiction. If you're the kind of person who likes to learn how things are made, and get to know the people making them, then this is the show for you.

Ep 64 – Interview with Charles E. Gannon

Sunday Apr 30, 2023
As an author and a reader, Oliver's interests include science fiction, alternate history, fantasy, game design…author Charles E. Gannon has written them all, so you better believe when we got the opportunity to speak with him, we leapt on it.His most recent publication is “Into the Vortex”, the second in his first ever fantasy serial, the Vortex of Worlds series, so of course we talked about that, but Charles has the kind of mind that travels far and absorbs everything, so we think anybody listening will get to learn something of interest to them!Charles' author site (Twitter, Facebook)www.soimwritinganovel.comPATREON: www.patreon.com/soimwritinganovelBUY OLIVER'S BOOKS: https://www.oliverbrackenbury.com/storeSO I'M WRITING A NOVEL...
