How do you entertain the world with your fiction? That's a question I've been asking myself since I launched WantedHero.com in 2005. These stories were for my kids, but that didn't last long. Kids share with other kids, and sometimes crazy things grow. This podcast is about the creative process, perspectives, stories, and my worldbuilding addictions. It's to show you that nothing is ever as simple or as easy as it seems, and life doesn't usually turn out like we think it will. If you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, instruction, or maybe a glance into the creative process of lying to kids for a living, this may be the podcast for you.

episode 5: S1E5 When a teen messes up this podcast by being awesome
Well, my son Simon and I were able to take part in the American Fork Indie Author Day last Saturday.
It was very enjoyable and I must say, insightful in many respects. Though the library didn't have as many teens show up as I'd hoped, my true intent was to be there, have a new experience, and mix with 'my people'. Yes, I wanted to meet readers of Chronicles of a Hero, which I did--and thank you for traveling so far to see me, you beautiful people--but I hoped to learn something new.
I did.
After all the conversations, and directing my attention at every child that passed my table--I learned that it'll always be a teen that walks up, gives me a smile, and does a sudden Karate chop to my plans. After the whole event passed, it was a teen girl who approached me, gave me a smile and with her mother and grandmother standing there...showed me how this podcast is lacking.
Ouch.
So sit back, have a Sugar Free Dr Pepper with me and Simon and enjoy today's episode of Life of Fiction.
P.S. Check out the show notes---I uploaded a set of pictures from the event. You might enjoy them ????
