Episode 282-The Multifaceted World of Rob Dircks

I just got a package in the mail, which contains a signed copy of a brand-new book that just came out from science fiction author Rob Dircks, called “Sunnyside,” along with a cloth patch that I can sew onto a shirt or a baseball cap. The patch says, “HISTORY REPAIR TECHNICIAN: CORRECT THE PAST, PROTECT THE FUTURE.” I won’t give it away, but it’s related to Sunnyside. As you’ve probably already figured out, Rob is my guest my guest in this episode. I’m already halfway through the eBook version of Sunnyside, which came out before the physical book did, but Rob was kind enough to send me a physical copy as well, and that’s what just got here. Man, I love this patch. In this episode, Rob and I are going to talk about writing with a focus on science fiction, but we’re also going to talk about curiosity, creativity, and the challenge of balancing work and the creative pursuits that feed our souls. But there’s more to Rob Dircks that just being a science fiction author and Podcaster. Yes, he’s written a lot of material, and talk about diverse! His books include “You’re Going to Mars!”, a trilogy called “Where the Hell is Tesla,” and “The Wrong Unit.” And those are just his science fiction titles. He’s also the author of “Alphabert: An A-B-C Bedtime Adventure, and “Unleash the Sloth: 75 Ways to Reach Your Maximum Potential by Doing Less” (And I DARE you to hear that title and NOT check it out, along with Rob’s other books).
