    Our guests this week are author Andy Peloquin.



    “I am, first and foremost, a storyteller and an artist–words are my palette. Fantasy and science fiction are my genres of choice, and I love to explore the darker side of human nature through the filter of heroes, villains, and everything in between. I’m also a freelance writer, a book lover, and a guy who just loves to meet new people and spend hours talking about my fascination for the worlds I encounter in the pages of fantasy and sci-fi novels.

    Speculative fiction provides us with an escape, a way to forget about our mundane problems and step into worlds where anything is possible. It transcends age, gender, religion,race, or lifestyle–it is our way of believing what cannot be, delving into the unknowable, and discovering hidden truths about ourselves and our world in a brand new way. Fiction at its very best!”

    Our guests this week are authors Max Moyer and his brother, Eli Moyer. Together, the brothers created a fantasy world called Mind’s Eye and then began to crafting stories in that universe.

     

    Max is an epic fantasy author who grew up in Washington D.C. He now resides just outside D.C. with his wife and four kids. Max and his brother Eli grew up playing an invented role-based game in a fantasy world they created, using only pencils and pads of paper. Over the years, they have built out the world of Mind’s Eye (www.mindseye.site) and continue to explore stories of heroics, great evil, and triumph against that fantastical backdrop.

    Max authored Zodak – The Last Shielder, book 1 of the Tempest Rising Series (release date: April 9, 2024) and Throne Born, a prequel novella that takes place 200 years before Zodak, and is working on subsequent books and novellas. In his free time, Max loves playing/swimming/skate boarding/trampolining/fishing and skiing with the Treehouse Gang, riding his classic motorcycle, woodworking, drawing/painting, watching great movies and playing board games.

    Be sure to preorder Zodak – The Last Shielder and jump into the world of Mind’s Eye!
