Bookshop Interview with Author Frank Reteguiz (Episode #180)

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Frank Reteguiz discusses his American Lore series. What started out as a single story eventually became an interconnected series of novels. There are currently six books available in the series, which is a unique mashup of horror, fantasy and science fiction. Frank draws inspiration for his novels from Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and his own experience as a former police officer. He also likes to weave little-known historical facts into his stories, which he writes as modern day fables. As for his writing process, Frank admits that he doesn’t start writing anything until he knows for certain how the story will end. In this episode, I’ll chat with Frank about his writing journey, his experience selling his books at festivals, art markets and local bars, and the book promotion that has worked best for him: "Buy a book, get a free shot."
