In this craft-heavy episode, Martin and I discuss writing without outlining, serial fiction, writing for the TikTok generation, and hamburger metaphors.
Martin (“Marty”) Shannon is a multi-million word author of thrilling horror and speculative fiction. He’s a dedicated husband, and a father to one scary smart teenager. Through it all, he remains a diehard fan of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and a lover of all things creepy.
Marty does his best writing in the pre-dawn hours, when it’s just him and Jack, his golden retriever whose intestinal clock plays an important role in just why Marty’s up at that hour.
Marty loves to write fast-paced, fantastical fiction, stories that make you want to stay up far too late to find out the answer to that most compelling of questions: “And then what happened?”
You can find Marty on social media (Twitter @talesofweirdfl, Instagram @talesofweirdfl) as well as hanging out on his back porch, banjo in one hand, and word processor in the other.
