Dream Chasers and Eccentrics Paul Trammell

Jeremiah Beck is the author of the new novel Recollection, which I read and enjoyed enough to invite Jeremiah onto the show. 
We talk about finding the inspiration to read and write, authors we love, learning to write, finding an editor, cultivating a creative mindest, talking to your characters, rituals, begging for the muse, marketing a book, guilt, forgiveness, being tormented by our own mind. I also read highlights I took while reading Recollection and Jeremiah comments on them. Jeremiah also reads from a new novel he is working on.
