We're joined this time by senior lecturer Russell Helms as he talks with us about his love of French Realism and its significance to his own creative process. Russell also talks to us about his new novella, Sympathy, and how he came to the unique idea at its core.

You can find Helms' Sympathy at Solstice Publishing: https://solsticeempire.com/products.aspx?categoryid=521
