Listen "Episode 23: David Hankins - Author Interview"
Episode Synopsis
Howdy Folks today we talk with David Hankins, a prolific award winning author who has been featured in dozens of magazines and anthologies, as well as creating the Grimsworld Series. We talk about David’s inspirations for his works, which tend to be lighthearted fantasy and sci-fi tales. Dive in and discover how the headaches and humor of bureaucratic mismanagement inspired David to write a series. David is also featured in every installment of The Unhelpful Encyclopedia Series and we discuss inspirations for his stories, and how audiobook and artistic interpretations deepen the storytelling experience.
Thanks a ton for the Interview David!
