James Rollins: "The Last Odyssey‪"‬ Talking with Authors

    • Books

This is the twenty-third episode of "Talking with Authors" by HEC Media and HEC Books. We're a program dedicated to speaking with some of the best selling authors around, covering many different genres.

We’re very excited to be able to come back to you after an unplanned hiatus due to the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020. Since no authors were able to travel, and our partners at the St. Louis County Library and Left Bank Books were physically closed  in the early days of social distancing, we were unable to conduct many of the scheduled interviews that we had planned.  But, after the initial weeks of the global shutdown, we were able to set up remote video interviews with many authors. And in the coming weeks, we’ll be providing you with the audio of these interviews. Now sound quality may be slightly different than our previous podcasts, but they all still contain the great content that you’ve come to expect.

Today, our author is the #1 New York Times Bestselling creator of over 30 works in the international thriller genre, James Rollins. We spoke with him via Zoom in April of 2020 about his book “The Last Odyssey” by publisher Harper Collins.

“Two books a year for the last 20 years,” is how this practicing veterinarian has spun off his interest in writing into a full-blown successful literary career. And his signature series of books “Sigma Force” has taken up the largest area of focus for his writing. In “The Last Odyssey”, as usual, he draws inspiration from his fondness for myths and stories from around the world. This time, the Abrahamic religions caught his attention and he was driven by their views of The End Times.

In this interactive, virtual interview we’ll learn more about this newest book, his coming work, his process for writing, and some more about his many interests. Author James Rollins is our guest this time on this edition of Talking With Authors from HEC Media and HEC Books.

Our host and interviewer this time is the author events coordinator for the St. Louis County Library, Carrie Robb.

HEC Media is a production company out of St. Louis, Missouri.  With the help of independent bookstore Left Bank Books and St. Louis County Library, we are able to sit down with these amazing writers and thought leaders to discuss their work, their inspiration, and what makes them special. You can watch video versions of most of our interviews at hecmedia.org.
