Everyone has a story, they just need someone to tell it to.
From storytelling to writing a book is a journey worth talking about. Every author from the very beginning sat down and began their journey with one word. From William Shakespeare to Papa Hemingway to Stephen King and Dan Brown...and to you-a writer, the journey is filled with mountains and valleys. On The Last Story, I explore the landscape with you, learning about the art of storytelling.
Season 9 is dedicated to Indie, first time, and veteran authors. They join me on The Last Storyteller podcast to discuss (and brag) about their books and talk about their journey to publication.
Everybody remembers the monster. But the real story is why this one stuck for 70+ years. In (http://years.In) 1952, Flatwoods, West Virginia, was already living with Cold War anxiety and UFO headlines. Then a bright light streaked across the sky—and six boys, a mom, and a dog went to investigate. That’s how legends grow: fear grabs our attention, details shift with every retelling, and folklore starts to feel like history. So (http://history.So) what do you think—do people remember the story, or the fear around it? 👇

Author Jonathan Robbins-Killer Bookends
The writing is cinematic, filled with high stakes and high tension. Beyond the thrills, the throughline of the anthology is the gifting of a voice to ordinary people forced by chance or consequence to overcome extraordinary situations. This is a book that will resonate with anyone who has faced challenges that feel beyond their strengths and abilities.

The Haunted Railroad Tracks
It started with a real train accident, but as the story was passed down, the details changed—and a local ghost story was born.That’s what I love about urban legends: they reveal what a community remembers, fears, and refuses to let go of.What’s the most famous legend from your town? 👇#UrbanLegends #StorytellingPodcast #SanAntonioStories #GhostStory #AddictedToFaith
