Relevant Fiction

In this debut episode, GK Jurrens offers a peek at a novel that subtly explores a modern social issue while the story entertains & makes you think. Today, Gene & his guest share the true story behind their new book, Lethal Game: Bears Under Siege. Meet Lt. Tom Kasprzak (ret.), the real-life version of the book’s colorful protagonist, Undercover Officer Sam Travis. LT was Gene’s collaborator in the creation of this fast-moving tale. In future episodes, we'll tickle the underlying story behind (inside) other novels, issues like alcoholism, handicaps (both physical and emotional), technology and its effects on society (both intended and unintended, good and bad), climate impacts, and other issues that color modern or historical fiction. We'll explore real issues affecting real people, but from within the comfortable cradle of kick-butt fiction. How cool is that!Check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/relevantfiction/announcements and consider joining that community to continue the conversation. Hosted by Gene Jurrens.
