This episode opens with some sad news. Professor Baron von Ebo crossed Rainbow Bridge on May 13th. While the family misses him, they are still busy preparing for an upcoming wedding! Julia tells us how she crashed a bowling league’s raffle and Chris gives us an update on RSL guidelines.
This week, David J West, Utah author from episode 34, joins us in the studio. TNUP first met David at the Halloween Expo. He was born in Salt Lake City but mostly grew up in Montana. David married and had three kids then divorced and had custody of his children. Then he met new current wife while she was living in LA, where they move for a time. His new little family had a chance to come back to Utah and choose to live here now. David’s first novel was Heroes of the Fallen and it came out in 2010. He also writes under the pseudonym James Alderdice.
We talk to David about how his work changed during COVID. His favorite place to write is in his study, where he is surrounded by books, arts, swords, and other writing inspiration. During COVID, David slipped into a home-schooling role and continued to write along with some consulting. You can find David’s books on Amazon and you can follow him on his blog or go to his website.
David’s interesting or unique this about Utah is that our history is not what he thought it was. Utah has unexpected surprises. Kind of apropos to say on a podcast about the unexpected and fantastic things about Utah!
