Writing Stories for People to Love - Author Luke Swanson

Text the Bookcast and say "hi"! Welcome to Chapter 67! My guest is indie author Luke Swanson. Luke has been a part of a couple of different shows, but this was my first chance to interview him and we had a blast! Luke is an author with five published novels under his belt, each in a vastly different genre. He says that Much like Oklahoma"s weather, what he"s reading and what he"s writing could change within the hour. If you want someone who can recite "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" from start to finish but also gets really nerdy about Civil War history, he"s your guy.
