This post is a bit of a departure for this blog, which is dedicated to audio podcasts, because it’s about a video podcast. Your humble editor of Bob’s Blogcast interviewed the author Robbie Paxton about his book entitled “An Obscure Savior.” Robbie is a friend of mine and we live in the same village, which has its own cable TV channel, PCTV, on which our interview aired on March 6, 2017.

The author was working in a building directly across from the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001 and a scene he witnessed in the mayhem that ensued inspired him to write the novel. Among the excerpts Robbie read during our interview is one where the novel’s narrator describes events during and immediately after the terror attack. Robbie said that this description mirrors his actual experience on that tragic day. He goes on to say that while his novel was inspired by 911, it really isn’t about it.

This interview may appeal to aspiring writers because I asked Robbie several questions about how he went about the process of writing the book, including character development and finding the time to write. In addition, both Robbie and I talk about other books we have enjoyed over the years.
