Author of Burning With A Blue Flame 

S3 EP143: Nov. 6th

Bleeped words due to some censors: sh00ting up hero!n, prostitute, s*x, s*xuality, g*n

With recent world events, we are choosing to focus on the thing that make us happy ... talking to authors about books. Today Dianne shares her conversation with author Sebastian Dureaux-Russell. Readers of Book Banter Magazine may recognize Sebastian's name and book cover from a previous issue when he was a featured poet in the April/May 2024 issue. His poem, Ethan Frome Sled, speaks to a need for reinvention and creation while blending literary nostalgia.

It is not surprising to find that Sebastian has an incredibly deep pool of talent to draw from to feed his creative works. Educated at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and The International Center of Photography, Sebastian is not just an accomplished writer, but is also an award-winning photographer, speaker, and a former model who can perform the “Dior Turn”.

In addition to his award-winning photography, Sebastian has written for numerous publications including Where Magazine, Travel Weekly, and The New York Times. However, in recent years his focus has shifted from writing articles to literary fiction. 

His award-winning debut novel, Burning with a Blue Flame, is a historical fiction adventure the centers around Pilot Elmer Darrel. Elmer agrees to compete against race car driver Humbolt Bratka. These men are both trying to reconcile their own personal demons as they speed toward the finish line while navigating through a maze of distractions including speakeasies, passionate interludes, and plenty of jazz.

With all the accolades Sebastian has earned, it is difficult to imagine that at one time he struggled in school. 


Don't wait, go listen now for more information on Sebastian and his work. Then be sure to check out his feature in our current issue of Book Banter Magazine

Podcast Holiday Hiatus

 

December 18th - January 29th Episodes

Normally during our hiatus we broadcast the "Best of Season" episodes, however,

this year we were able to meet so many amazing people and get some

great interviews at the Frankfurter Buchmesse. We are going to change things up and

bring all of this new content to you during this break instead. Please note, these episodes

will not have the sound quality and the editing our normal episodes

have. This is due to the fact they were recorded live at the publishing convention.

We will make sure to give you the best sound quality possible. Enjoy

Prairie Dog Comics not only sells superhero comics, but they acted like them too! They came to my rescue while I was on vacation in the USA. I lost my passport in their shop two days before we were heading home to Germany. I had no idea it was even gone. They found it, found me, and got my passport back to me with plenty of time to fly home.

I'm glad I always bought my comics there when I lived in Wichita. 

Thanks Guys!
