In this episode, Jonathan connects with Richie Billing, a fantasy author, podcaster, and editor based in Liverpool, England. The conversation spans the technicalities of building a writing career to a deep dive into the socio-political issues facing the UK and Canada, touching on everything from A.I. to Liverpool's unique cultural identity.
Richie, a former lawyer turned SEO specialist and writer, discusses his transition into the literary world and his recent focus on short stories and indie publishing. He shares the creative process behind his latest works, Pariah's Lament and the gritty novella Together We Rise, and how he integrated an A.I.-generated soundtrack into his storytelling.
