Language of the Soul Podcast

Join us as we sit down with John Bukowski, whose novel "Project Suicide" draws from a rich tapestry of personal and professional experiences. We'll uncover the intricate process of weaving real-world scientific concepts into compelling fiction, creating stories that thrill while ringing plausible and authentic. John shares his journey from technical writing to fiction, shedding light on how his diverse experiences fuel his creative process and the "what if" scenarios that drive his narratives. Whether you're an aspiring writer or an avid reader, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
Guest Bio: Over a forty-year career, John Bukowski has gone from veterinary practitioner to epidemiologist to medical writer to novelist. He currently writes fast-paced thrillers such as Project Suicide and the recently published Checkout Time, as well as shorter fiction. John grew up in a factory worker family of six kids in Motown. At each step along his path, he needed to embrace change and tackle the challenges of a new direction. Each step has taught him to be a stronger writer. John loves chatting about his writer’s journey and the process he uses to turn “what if” scenarios into novels and short stories. John has extensive experience in public speaking, including numerous appearances on theatrical stages, TV, radio, podcasts, seminars, workshops, civic groups, and book clubs.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
