When author Stephen Bilias invited Bela Breslau to write a novel with him, a wonderful creative collaboration ensued. Host Denise Schwartz talks with South Deerfield, Massachusetts writers Bela and Stephen about their long-time marriage, their new-ish working relationship, and how writing books together has made their marriage even more meaningful…and fun!
Here's a preview of their in-progress fantasy novel titled “Wu Wei Warrior”: Protagonist Lucy Chung-Corbyn learns she has powers passed on from her father when he took the Kool Aid® while participating in secret government research. Thanks to his mutated genes, Lucy develops a unique superpower: she does nothing, but she does it powerfully, reflecting the Taoist concept of wu wei, or non-action action. You’ll love how Lucy, a non-violent superhero, defeats demons by “going with the flow.”
