What are the challenges of writing and publishing the first novel, your second book or your third book? With the collection of writers on this podcast from a Zoom event sponsored by KAZI Book on June 13, 2020, we discussed novels in the political thriller, crime fiction, science fiction/fantasy genres, and a short story collection. We explored not only the themes of their most recently published books, but their unique journeys in writing and publishing them. Meng Jin, author of the novel LITTLE GODS, and Richard Santos, author of the novel TRUST ME, just published their debut novels in 2020. For Rion Amilcar-Scott, his short story collection THE WORLD DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU, published in 2019, was his second book. And for science fiction/fantasy writer Nicky Drayden, ESCAPING EXODUS, published in 2019, was her third book.
