You ever read a story from an author and just sit back and ponder how someone becomes just that amazing? How, this person’s work makes you question what timeline you’re even living in and if you quietly slipped through a wormhole somewhere along the way?

Every single time I’ve read anything from today’s Special Guest, that’s how I’ve felt.

Kurt Fawver is an award-winning author, a creator of phenomenal fiction, and I’m so truly honored to have him as today’s 3Q’s guest!

Welcome Kurt!

Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try and write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?
Kurt: I used to have a set time almost every night when I tried to hammer out some words—from midnight to two or three in the morning. I’ve always been a creature of the night; it’s generally when I do my best work. However, with work and family responsibilities mounting over the past year or two, my writing time has been slashed down to half an hour or an hour a day, at best. I try to fit that writing time in wherever I can, which means I’m not working to my strengths, but at least I’m getting something down. Given how slowly I write, I never keep careful count of how many words I’ve written in any given session.

Steve: You’re riding an elevator and BAM! It gets stuck. What two authors (one living and one dead) would you happen to find yourself stuck with?
Kurt: I think it would be interesting to be stuck with Cormac McCarthy and Jorge Luis Borges. A gritty ultra-realist mixing it up with a metaphysically-minded fabulist—I’d love to hear their conversation.

Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!
Kurt: My newest story is coming very soon in Looming Low Vol. 2 from Dim Shores. It’s called “Radius Unknown.” It’s a low-key apocalyptic tale about an odor that destroys the world—or, at least those who can smell it. You should read it because it’s weird, it’s prescient, and it’s delightfully grim.

Steve: Bonus Question! If you were transported back in time, which Pop Band/Hit Band would you hope to find yourself a member of?
Kurt: Pretty much any 80s New Wave band. Keytar forever!

Ha! Excellent choice!

Thank you once again for doing this Kurt!
