Show by Host: Herschel Sterling
What a talk with Steve Zettler. Growing up around artists and soldiers, and the effects it had in his writing thrillers and understanding characters. His service in Viet Nam clearly has an influence on his thriller spy novels. Steve encourages us to get all his books at his publisher, Vine Leaves Press. I do as well. Help cool indy presses. It’s a lot to unpack in this talk, let me bullet the outline. Be clear, this is only a smattering of his accomplishments. Please listen.Much thanks to Hannah Larrew from Spellbound for her encouragement and for the introduction to Steve and the several other authors she’s recommending. * Steve was commissioned to novelize the script from Ronin by David Mamet. * He is one of three surviving original players from the historic stage play, A Soldiers Play. He shares a couple of those experiences. * His Memoir, Leave the Kid Alone, is inspired by his upbringing at his dad’s restaurant and his experience in the military. * He wrote a spy Thriller centering on the invasion of Panama. * He has a cool Scfi Espionage story about nuclear war with aliens and the deep state. * He reads a few stories from a 50 Word anthology, two of which are embedded below.
