Hello My Happy People,

Amazon bestselling and award-winning author Nathan Jorgenson joins me today for a conversation that goes well beyond his latest novel, Otto’s Portal.

Nathan spent nearly 40 years as a dentist, but writing and storytelling were already part of his life long before he became a novelist. He wrote for outdoor magazines, told stories around campfires with friends and family, and eventually found his way to fiction through a deeply personal story he began for his father.

We talk about the unexpected path that led to his bestselling and award-winning career as a novelist, the importance of words, learning from both positive and negative reviews, and why connecting with readers means so much to him. Nathan also shares his thoughts on finding inspiration in the people and places around us, the role his wife plays in his writing career, and why retirement apparently leaves a lot less time for writing when the fish are biting.

And of course we also talk about Otto’s Portal, a fascinating new Amazon bestselling novel that brings together real historical events, science, good and evil, and characters searching for redemption.
