Join us as we chat with author Douglas A. Burton, diving into his geeky "origin story" and how his love for history inspired his first novel.

It's an engaging discussion on writing, mythology, and the power of historical fiction. Plus, we touch on his influences, the research behind his work, and how it all connects to fandom culture.
