Andrew Najberg
Author of The Neverborn Thief
S3 EP 128: July 24th
​​​
Today Dianne get to shares her conversation with the incredible Andrew Najberg. Andrew has built a career deeply embedded in the artistry of the written word. Having spent eighteen years as a teacher for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, he has taught courses in creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and Japanese literature.
Since delving into his own writing career, Andrew has dabbled in various genres from poetry to horror. While he did not find significant publishing success with poetry collections, his move to speculative fiction has earned him a place on bestselling lists on Amazon’s top 100 listings in selected categories.
​
Andrew has only been focused on writing prose for a few years, but the switch from poetry is definitely paying off. At the time of the writing of this blog post, Andrew’s book Gollitok: A Horror Novel published in 2023 is currently sitting on two Amazon top 100 lists, #26 in Occult Supernatural and #48 in Supernaturalism (Books)

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!
